Collection: Forest Home Cemetery - Rhinelander
The following description is from a local student project to design a brochure for the cemetery:
The earliest burial in FHC was in1882.
Cemeteries used to be places to have picnics before there were parks, but ever since there have been horror movies, that has changed.
The 67 Civil War Vets are buried in the Forest Home Cemetery.
There are ten graves that are over 100 years old.
Cremated remains of individuals are sometimes mailed to the current sexton of the cemetery.
Individuals are buried 5 ½ to 6_x005F feet below the surface of the ground.
Mr. Winquist (the first) wrote the ordinance in 1958 requiring caskets to be buried in concrete vaults to avoid sunken graves.
