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". |

Notes There were over 1200 burials in the East Cemetery; some have
been exhumed and buried elsewhere. The goal is to replace the numbered stones
with stones that include names and dates. Started in 1999, about ten have been
done, some with the financial help of family members. The remainder will be done
when funds are available. This is a project of "Remembering with Dignity", a coalition
of disability rights groups of which Jim Fassett-Carman is a member. |

See St.John's in Forest Twp. USGS number 1562 for St.John's is probably meant

Notes 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)". |

Notes 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. |
