Our Savior's Lutheran Cemetery

Section 8, Higdem Township,  Polk Co., Minnesota

Two miles south of Oslo, Minnesota


There is no longer a church associated with the cemetery. The cemetery is well cared for, and the stones are in excellent condition.

Check the Minnesota Death Index for dates -- checking both Polk and Marshall County, as this cemetery is only 1-1/2 miles from the Marshall county line.

Thanks to Ann for walking and transcribing this cemetery and taking the picture -- in 2004
