Cemetery notes and/or description:
The TRINITY LUTHERAN CEMETERY is owned and managed by the Trinity Lutheran Church of North Branch, MN, a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the Saint Paul Area Synod. The land for the original cemetery (Section A) was donated by Andrew Rystrom, at the January 7th 1890 church meeting.
In January of 1895 the board of trustees authorized the platting of this land into lots. In 1903 additional land to the east was purchased. In 1910 Håkan Olson was elected as the first caretaker of the cemetery, with many others following throughout the years.
In 1916 one part of the cemetery was designated for single graves (Section A, Lot 475) and in 1918 a water system was installed. On May 8, 1922 the name was officially changed to the "Swedish Lutheran Hope Cemetery" and in 1944 the cemetery was re-platted. The original land expanded from the "A" section to now include B, C, and D sections.
There are about 250 unknown memorials in the Trinity cemetery. These were created from the official cemetery records which indicated a particular grave was occupied but had no other identification or dates. It is possible some of these graves were purchased but never used.
To help identify these burial locations on Find A Grave, the memorials have been assigned their Lot Number in the surname field and the Grave Number in the given name field.
