Beaver Dam Cemetery

Beaver Dam, WI 53916-1838
This is the address for the Casey's General Store (Across the street)

In 1941 the graduating class of Beaver Dam High School copied the inscriptions from all the stones then existing and placed a copy of their research in the local library. It was a valuable reference and I am indebted to it.
Some information on persons buried was obtained from the two local funeral homes. In many instances the exact date of birth and death was obtained rather than just the years as inscribed on the stones. For persons who do not have a marker, the information was obtained from either the cemetery books or funeral homes. The percentage of unmarked graves is quite high; 478 out of 1669 burials have no stones.
