Notes
First cemetery was located south of present church. Records burned. Land purchased for current cemetery in 1860 and about 15 gravesites were moved to this location. Alexander Faribault, founder of city, buried here. Entry in Rice County History Book states a grass fire burned all of the wooded markers. From an unknown and undated source at Rice County Historical Society, the following is written: "When the Milwaukee railroad was built about 1865, it was routed to run through the bluff in Mendota where Baptist Faribault had a vault containing the bodies of relatives and near relatives. Those bodies had to be removed. That winter sixty teams and sleighs removed the bodies and brought them here, where Alexander had a temporary vault excavated to hold the bodies until spring for burial in ground to be donated for a cemetery known now as Calvary Cemetery. Over eighty bodies are now buried in that plot".

From "Lynch Family History", 766-D at Rice County Historical Soc. In part, it reads "Mr. Faribault influenced the Sioux Indians to come to Faribault. All along the west bank of the Straight River from Division to 14th Street, was a picturesque encampment of bark and buffalo skin tepees. Mr. Hulett writes in Rice County records, that when he arrived with his friends, at the brow of the hill below where later stood the old Baron House and now stands the Brunswick Hotel, the setting sun cast a mellow light upon this village of Indians, comprising of some sixty wigwams, stretching along what is now Central Avenue. The present tourist park was an Indian burial ground, bodies of Indians tied in blankets were hung up in trees. There were twenty to thirty of these repulsive objects swaying in the breeze there at one time. (Recorded by an early comer)".

Child's grave found in George Pooch gravel pit (Wiley Pope's records). Discrepancy in location of gravel pit. WPA worker in 1937 reports this gravel pit to be in Section 2, not Section 18, and the information given to him by Paul Schmitke was that while hauling gravel from this pit about 20 years previously (about 1917), remains of a child were found and reburied. Witnesses: George Pooch & Albert Meschke.

A Peterson tombstone with two names was found in 1986 on private property. It reads: "Anna, wife of E.B.Peterson, died Dec 6, 1859, aged 25 years. Anna L. dau of E.B. and A. Peterson, died Aug 14, 1865 in the 6 years of her age". Exact location withheld by the transcriber. This was first reported by WPA in 1936 when owned by C.B.Watkins. Mr. Watkins, owner of the farm since about 1928 was not aware of the burials. Property had been owned by several Hershey families as far back as 1856. Appears to be same site as Hershey burials -- see Hershey.
