Nyskoga Congregation, Sandsville Township, Polk Co., MN

Nyskoga Cemetery

Section 28, Sandsville Township

Polk County, Minnesota

Thanks to Ann for taking the picture, walking the cemetery, and cross referencing information from local history books and church records.

The Nyskoga Congregation was organized on July 9, 1894.
The church was built around 1907, but the cemetery was established prior to that date. The congregation dissolved about 1938. The cemetery is well taken care of and is still in use.
