Golden Cemetery
Swift County, Minnesota, USA
This appears to be a family cemetery. Mike Andrews went to the location of this cemetery back in 2006. His description is as follows:
"It is located South of the Chippewa River. Go to the next gravel road straight East of Big Bend Lutheran Church. Keep heading North until the road ends at someone's house. Look West about 200 yards across a field and you can barely see the headstone for Swan Olson.It is in danger of falling into the river. The back fence is about 2 feet from the cliff. Some trees have slid down the bank about 100 feet. I backed away from the fence because I could not tell how much ground was underneath me.
There are two markers about 10 feet from the cliff. ...... There are two stones inside a lilac bush. They are shaped like a tombstone but are rough stones from a rock pile.
It is unmowed so it was tough to find some of them."
If you would like pictures of these headstones, please contact the Swift County Historical Society as they have photos on file for this cemetery. The Society's address is: 2135 Minnesota Avenue, Benson, MN 56215, (320) 843-4467. The Society's email address is: [email protected]. The Society and Historical Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday.
This is not a cemetery that is safe to visit.
