Collection: East Side Cemetery - Estherville
The East Side Cemetery, likely the oldest in Emmet County, sits in the northeastern part of Estherville, within the city limits. Established and platted on July 14, 1866, it began when James L. L. Riggs and his wife Minerva deeded a tract of land in Section 11, Township 99, Range 34, to an association for use as a burial ground. On November 17, 1900, the Estherville Cemetery Association was officially incorporated by Howard Graves, Eliza Bemis, Mary J. Barnett, L. L. Bixby, J. W. Lough, W. S. Jones, C. B. Mattson, Sally A. Mattson, and Robert Clark. The first seven of these individuals formed the association's inaugural board of directors.
