Old Clayfield Cemetery

The Old Clayfield Cemetery is located on a hilltop in Section 35 of Ellsworth
Township, south of the intersection of U.S. 10 and County DD, about three miles
southeast of the Village of Ellsworth.

The Catholic residents of the Clayfield area were first attended as a mission
from Hudson, WI with mass being offered in the homes of Patrick Campbell,
Richard Devereaux and Patrick Stafford.  In 1861 the land on which the cemetery
is located was donated to the church by Patrick Stafford and a log church was
erected there, with the cemetery surrounding the church.  In the 1880's the
church was replaced by a new frame church which was built one mile south on
County DD, and a new cemetery was begun just north of the new church.  The old
church was used for storage for a few years and then was torn down in the early
1900's.  The cemetery records have been lost and some of the markers have been
removed.  The following is a list of those whose markers were there in the
summer of 1981.  Compiled by Reta Sanford September 1981.
