Finns in Dickey County


The Finns in America by Taru Spiegel is an excellent presentation with a bibliography giving the chronology of Finnish Immigration.

In Valley Township, Section1, there is a Finnish cemetery affiliated with the Finnish Lutheran Synod. The cemetery is small. All of the marked graves are listed below. But know that there are several sunken graves that are unmarked.
