THE RECORDING OF A CEMETERY By Thelma Greene Reagan
Today we walked where others walked On a lonely, windswept hill. Today we talked where others cried For loved ones whose lives are stilled.
Today our hearts were touched By graves of tiny babies. Snatched from the arms of loving kin, In the heartbreak of the ages.
Today we saw where the grandparents lay In the last sleep of their time. Lying under the trees and clouds - Their beds kissed by the sun and wind.
Today we wondered About an unmarked spot. Who lies beneath this hallowed ground? Was it a babe, child, young or old? No indication could be found.
Today we saw where Mom and Dad lay. We had been here once before On a day we'd all like to forget, But will remember forever more.
Today we recorded for kith and kin The graves of ancestors past. To be preserved for generations hence, A record we hope will last.
Cherish it, my friend. Preserve it, my friend, For stones sometimes crumble to dust And generations of folks yet to come Will be grateful for your trust. |

it is a fenced-off area with a memorial marker or monument. The marker lists
all the people that were buried there, but all original headstones are gone. The
following are the names of the Norwegian settlers buried in the Sever
Temanson Cemetery -- interred during the period 1856-1870. 41 Interments:
