(Approximately 9.5 miles east of River Falls, WI) Two Babcock brothers, living on adjacent farms donated equal amounts of land for this cemetery and the county line runs east and west through the middle. The cemetery has been in use from the early 1860s and many stones are badly weather worn and very hard to decipher. Many stones are broken (some have just disintegrated with age) and some are missing.
