FileFormatted by Terri--MNArchives Made available to The USGenWeb Archives by: LaNaye Hennen Submitted: Mar 2002 ========================================================================= Nicolai Lutheran Church was established in 1891 in Oshkosh Township - Yellow Medicine County, Minnesota. The church has been relocated to Canby, Minnesota. The former church was torn down in the 1950's Cemetery Location: From Canby - 4.5 miles north on Highway 59 - .5 miles east. Notations in parentheses are my notes and information obtained from the caretaker of the cemetery who has been very generous in helping me with additional information. The other notations were taken off the markers. * after the name means that there was not marker in the cemetery - information was taken from cemetery records. I walked this cemetery twice in August of 2001 and compared the markers with the cemetery records and the church death record transcription which had been done in 1990. I have been as accurate as I can, however, errors may have been made. I urge you to use this information as a stepping stone and hope you will seek further information.
