Shady Glen Cemetery was located about three miles southeast of Hixton, Wisconsin on the south side of N Pine Creek Road, between Shady Glen Road and Squirrel Road. It was known as a diphtheria cemetery. It was across the road and southwest from the old Shady Glen School which stood on the northeast corner of the intersection of Pine Creek and Shady Glen roads.

Some of this information was from Mrs James Goldsmith, a granddaughter of Hiram Fuller. Allegedly up to three military veterans were buried there. Hiram Fuller is buried there, according to her records. Ernest Fuller, a baby, was interred there and his gravestone has been seen by many people over the years. The Darst family moved it from the cemetery fence line to their residence where it served as a point of interest in their landscaping. However, it is unknown if the stone still exists.

The farmland was sold with the understanding that the graveyard would be fenced and kept inviolate. Descendants all moved away.

It is alleged that Peter Stenerson, who lived nearby and may have acquired the land, removed all the markers and monuments, and the area plowed up. However, it may have been done by another land owner, as more than one burial ground in the area was dismantled. What was referred to as the Preston cemetery may have been a separate and distinct burial area taken apart by Stenerson.

Stones were re-purposed for a walkway on the McCory farm across Hwy A, back steps for a granary, a milk house floor, and who knows what else. When a descendant returned for a visit years later, there was no longer any trace of the Fuller burial ground.

The McCrory farm was later razed once I-94 was built. The farm lot was planted to trees by the DNRand has largely become a wetland. If you search, you can still find traces of the foundations of farm buildings there. Grave memorials are still likely buried under those trees with the remains of farm buildings

Years after the cemetery was desecrated and dismantled, the farmland was sold again. This time it was used to grow stock for the Toddle-In tree nursery. The nursery has since stopped using the cemetery land, having been informed that by state law it is illegal to disturb it.

At least one of the monuments have been located (Mrs. Johnson) and the intention is that it be returned to the Shady Glen burial ground one day. We intend to identify the burial ground with a sign as well.
