SMALL OR PRIVATE CEMETERIES / LONE BURIALS Butte County, SD This record of recorded burials in lone graves, or in small cemeteries, was compiled in 1993 by the late Ernie Gottschalk of Vale, SD. It was scanned by Skip Wiest in October 1997, with Mr. Gottschalk's permission, so that the records could eventually be transcribed for use by the Butte County section of the SDGenWeb archives. The records were corrected, transcribed, and completed by Skip Wiest in June 2000. Please contact Skip at dwiest@delphi.com with any additions or corrections to this list. These records may be freely copied by individuals and non-profit organizations for their private use; all other rights reserved. Any other use, including publication, storage in a retrieval system, or transmission by electronic, mechanical, or other means requires the written approval of the file's author or estate. NOTES ON LONE BURIALS IN BUTTE COUNTY: Mr. Gottschalk compiled this list from several means. Among them were the use of early newspaper records, talking with area landowners and pioneers, and notations in area history books. Each record contains, if known, the Township/Range/ Section (T/R/S) of the gravesite (if known), as well as Mr. Gottschalk's comments on the general location of the gravesite (m=mile; compass directions noted as N, S, E and W).
