History: Brantwood was one of the largest Finnish communities in the state of Wisconsin in the early 1900's. Advertisements of great deals on land purchases that had been clear-cut by the logging companies enticed many Finnish immigrants to this settlement referred to as Uusi Savo in the Finnish newspapers located in north-central Wisconsin. The cemetery is the final resting place for mostly Finnish immigrants and their descendents. A cemetery association owns and operates this cemetery. It has a connection with Zion Lutheran Church in Brantwood. Directions: St. Mary's Cemetery is located on Central Avenue. Go south of State Highway 8, 1 mile on Stadium Road and west 1/10 mile on Central Ave. Date of Date of Additional (Photos) Info Given Names Family Name Text Birth Death Pic2 Sec Row Hjlmar Aho 1900 1919 Section C Row 10 Eric Aho 18 May 1864 Section C Row 10 Elizabeth Aho 1859 1944 Section C Row 10 Gustaava Altonen Born Finland / Died Brantwood 13 Dec 1856 20 Mar 1940 Section Row Antti/Andrew Altonen Born Finland / Died Brantwood 01 Apr 1853 15 Jun 1915 Section Row Uhrok Anderson Brother 1905 1934 Section D Row 3 Oscar Anderson (Burial Permit) ? 1976 Section Row Mrs. Eino Anderson (Burial Permit) ? 1924 Section Row Mathilda Anderson Mother 1881 1932 Section Row Karl Anderson (Burial Permit) ? 1955 Section Row Johanna Anderson Mother ( on same marker as Andrew Anderson) 1875 1943 Section D Row 2 Impi Anderson Onnerva-Maki 1892 1926 Section C Row 9 Andrew Anderson Father (on same marker as Johanna Anderson) 1863 1933 A.
