I was born in Flensburg, MN, during 1938 and grew up there. I'm submitting basic information on the two cemeteries located in or very near Flensburg, both associated with the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, the only church in town. The original Sacred Heart Cemetery is located a few blocks east of the church but has not been used for several decades, having been replaced by the current Sacred Heart Cemetery on a hill about 0.8 miles south of town.

Most of the work in obtaining gravestone information from both cemeteries was done during 1997 and 1998 by Lois Stavish and Renalda Poser, both living in Morrison County. They laboriously filled out a standard form (page) for each of the hundreds of graves. These original forms are available at the Morrison County Historical Society in Little Falls, MN. They contain more detailed information than I'm submitting such as exact cemetery coodinates for each grave, drawings of gravestones, their dimensions, etc.

It is gratefully acknowleged that this project is a cooperative one with the Morrison County Historical Society which allowed me to photograph each form so the basic information could be entered into a spreadsheets, one for each cemetery. In addition, on October 7, 2010, I photographed each gravestone in the current cemetery with a date of death more recent than 1997 to make all information current as of that time. I've since attempted to follow more recent published obituaries of Flensburg Cemetery burials and include them in this database, but some may have been missed.

Any comments, corrections or suggestions are welcome.
