Portage County Cemetery Locator
A
joint project of the UWSP University Archives, Portage County Public
Library, and the Stevens Point Area Genealogical Society, the Portage
County Cemetery Locator lists over 43,000 names located in 67 Portage
County cemeteries. The database is an update and continuation of Wayne
Allen and Alta Guyant's Index of the Cemeteries of Portage County
[Stevens Point: Stevens Point Area Genealogical Society, [19??], housed
at the Portage County Public Library. The Guyant Index was
completed in the mid-1970's. The Cemetery Locator database was completed
in mid-November of 1999. The earliest identifiable birth date in the
Cemetery Locator is that of Mary Crane, 1771 - 1872, in the First
Belmont (Kent) cemetery.
A sampler from the Cemetery Locator:
| Dr. Carrie Angenette Frost grew up in Almond, and attended UW-Oshkosh. After a brief teaching career she went to Rush Medical College in Chicago, at a time when women physicians were rare. She practiced in Stevens Point for six years, and later became an official at the state home for mentally retarded at Chippewa Falls where she contracted a baffling illness that eventually cost her her life at the age of 52. She never married, and is buried beside her brother, also a physician, beneath this massive granite block in the Almond Village Cemetery. |  |
