This is a possible burial ground for the wife and three children of Frank Parzychowski on the old abandoned family farmstead. The Burleigh County Book of Remembrances list them as being buried in the Sterling Cemetery and there is a home-made gravestone for them in the cemetery. Newspaper accounts regarding their deaths say authorities would not allow them to be buried in Bismarck so they were buried on the family farm. In a letter in the June 16, 1906 Bismarck Daily Tribune, coroner George L. Gilbert states that on his second trip to the home, he ordered the un-buried bodies of Mrs. Parzychowski and two children be buried immediately, right there on the family farm. The current owners of the property believe the family is buried on the farm.

They found the old farmstead and there are piles of rock that are believed to be grave markings. The foundation for the house is easily visible, even from the satellite photo, and there is another depression nearby that is believed to be where the barn once stood. This likely burial ground is located on private property in the middle of their pasture.

Memorials for Mrs. Parzychowski and the three children are set up on Find A Grave in the Sterling Cemetery.
