Hamilton Cemetery -Todd County, MN - Abandoned Cemeteries on Waymarking.com

This cemetery is totally abandoned and overgrown. The only clue that this was once a cemetery is the marker placed in the ditch just off the county road. I was out looking for cemeteries for my students to transcribe and read about this one, so I went looking for it. Drove by a few times and then saw the marker. We got out and checked it out, no visible tombstones, there are some large overgrown lilac bushes, perhaps once placed on a grave. The ground is uneven with lots of big stones and rocks hidden and half buried. The corn fields seem to have taken over the land.

I checked with the local historical society and this cemetery was once very large, but has been abandonded for decades.

There is a marker and it reads:

and used until 1910
