Cemetery started out as a family burial ground. Although the first recorded death
in the area was a Mrs. Stiles in 1857, the first burial in this cemetery was 25
year-old Robert Sadley in 1867, probably another relative of John A. Wagner. Land
records show that the Sadley farm was next to the cemetery, which was known early
on as the 'Crawford burying ground' because Noble and Lucinda Crawford owned it
and lived in a house a few hundred feet to the northeast.......The community discussed
organizing a cemetery association as provided for in Minnesota statues and on
June 24, 1881, a large group of people met and formed the Becker Cemetery Association.
On July 9, 1881, they held another meeting at the schoolhouse and chose officers

---------- 26 August 2003. Crissie Magney, born 1911, told me (Jodi Magnuson)
about a cemetery she remembers from her youth which was located south of Big Lake
(on what is now called 68). The cemetery was overgrown then and was between or
near the properties of Charlie Gibbs and the place the Jones family lived on (the
Almon Hanson property). She says as kids they never went into the cemetery, they
believed it was haunted. She recalls Pearl Johnson (Buster Swanson's wife)'s mother
would tell stories about the cemetery, they lived within sight of it. One story
was of the mother seeing a fire ball come rolling across the field. (From various
old plat maps, it looks as if the property might be at the junction of County
Road 68 and County Road 14 (old 11) ---------- For More Information see

is a small section on the north side of the cemetery with three or four graves
for high school aged kids who have died in 2000/2001. These graves are very actively
visited. They have many mementos with a plastic shoe box that contains a diary
for people to leave messages and letters written to the deceased. Very touching.

---------- e-mail message from Pat Adair, Warden of MN Correctional Facility:
April 12, 2005 1:54:52 PM CDT Hello, Yes, there is a cemetery on state property
adjacent to the Correctional facility. To my knowledge, it has no real name. It
used to be referred to as the Reformatory cemetery. It is located on the south
side of Hwy 301, across from the Correctional Facility. I came across a plat
number which is: 99807 There are 35 graves. 33 of them were inmates at this
facility. One of them is a transient that was found dead by the nearby railroad
tracks. The other is a baby girl, the one day old daughter of a female inmate
who was housed here in 1932. The first inmate was buried here in 1895. The last
was in 1955. Each grave bears a polished granite marker. In the summer months
a group of our staff maintains the cemetery. I do have a map of the cemetery
listing who is buried in which grave. I could certainly mail or fax it to you.
Warden Pat Adair. -------- 21 August 2005 - Jodi's visit to the cemetery: "I would
suggest letting the prison know that you are looking for the cemetery before you
go tramping around on their property. There are 35 stones. The one for the baby
"Joan" is a little larger than the rest, as are two that list full names and the
phrase "Died on Duty" - William Burroughs and Fred Almandinger." |

is on the dirt road of 175th Ave SE at about 43rd Street. It sits on the east
side of the road on the edge of the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge. It is
a small cemetery with only about 50 stones. The day I visited, it had been mowed
but not very well taken care of otherwise. The front gate had fallen off the hinges
and was sitting on the ground. * |

Fifty people met on October 4, 1957, and started to plan to build a church in
Zimmerman. The parish name "St. Pious X" was decided upon at that time. There
were about thirty families. The first Mass was celebrated on October 27, 1957,
in the basement of the American Legion Hall which later burned down. The first
trustees were Roger MARTURANO and Maurice LUBY, and the building committee included
Joe SCHARF, Isidore LIEB and Reuben MATHISON. On May 4, 1958, ground was broken
for the new church. Father Joseph A. LINN was made pastor of Our Lady of the Lake,
Big Lake, of St. Pius X Mission Church in Zimmerman on June 20, 1958. He was followed
by Father Nicholas ZIMMER in 1972 when Father Joseph LINN became seriously ill
and died July 20, 1973, at the age of 47. With the growth of the Parish came
the realization that the church would have to be expanded to provide both church
and religious education space. An addition was made to the church in 1980 and
included the frescoes of the four evangelists - St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke
and St. John. The frescoes were done by Charles KASPNER of St. Cloud and quite
possibly are the only two true frescoes in the State of Minnesota. Stained glass
windows were put into the entire church at this time also. Father Nicholas
ZIMMER left in 1984 and Father Bernard MISCHKE was installed, then in 1985 Father
Paul FOLSOM became pastor. At the present there are about 400 families. [SOURCE:

Society, 1986 - page 46] --- ------- Jodi Magnuson visited this cemetery
