Also known as Crooked Lake Cemetery, since that neighborhood took its name from nearby Crooked Lake - which was later drained for farming. Approximately 105 people were buried there. Some were later moved to the new cemetery next to the Fahlun Lutheran Church building, and some were moved to the Spruce Hill Lutheran Cemetery. About 75 people are still buried at the original site. Only 35 square feet surrounding the obelisk are still preserved. Most of the people buried here were born in Sweden, or are descendants from Swedes.
