Cemetery established between 1880 - 1890. This cemetery appears to be located near the intersection of Lake Park and Cuba Townships. Based on driving directions and recent highway maps I believe the physical location of the cemetery is either the SESE Sec 34, Cuba Township or NWNW Sec. 2, Lake Park Township. I have used the Cuba Township coordinates.

Notes
Dedicated in 1890. St. Mary's cemetery is located in the S1/2 NW1/4 Sect. 31, South East shore of Little Rush Lake, about 3 miles NW of St. Theodore's church. Per 1937 report Mission interment records recorded in one volume regardless of where the actual burial took place; about 900 burials are recorded between 1903 - 1937. A 1941 report states there are about 75 graves and that St. Mary's was the first mission or Catholic cemetery used near Pine Point, Minnesota.

Cemetery Listing and "Cemetery Locations in Minnesota", 2nd edition, Wiley Pope; both on file at Minnesota Genealogical Society. The Becker County Genealogical Society records indicate the location of Snellman Cemetery on Hwy 34 in Toad Lake Township (this would have to be Section 36). The Becker County VA Cemetery list places the cemetery at the corner of Hwy 34 east and County 39 in Shell Lake Section 36. A 1971 atlas places the cemetery in the location used here.
