This is a private little clearing in the woods. We were in this cemetery in the fall and it was so peaceful and
lovely in here. It is kept cleaned out and the sun shines down through the trees. There is a big boulder with
metal tabs on it of the first ones buried in this little clearing, the ones buried late years have their own
markers. We are told also there are some buried there with no markers. It is in Section 28, in the Township of Farmington,
Waupaca County, Wisconsin. It is about three miles West of Waupaca to Smith Land and about ¼ mile in and
then walk about ¼ mile west into the woods.

We are told that there is an Edwin Smith and Clara Smith, Husband and Wife that are buried out there.
Mrs. Fern Smith, who lives in the Smith house on this land, tells us that the original idea was to be buried there
with the names only on the big boulder, but that in later years there has been individual markers,
placed on the place of burial.
