2002/03 CEMETERY and TOMBSTONE TRANSCRIPTION PROJECT
By T. A. Godlevsky


RIDGEWAY LUTHERAN CEMETERY
The NW and SW Quarter of Section 3 in Township 141 N, Range 93 W
The church site and cemetery land were donated by Sam Vaagen and Iver Engebritson. The cemetery was dedicated 10/12/1913. (Reference the book Dauntless Dunn II - 1989 A History of Dunn County North Dakota, page 82-84)

The original interment book was missing at one time and was rewritten by hand into another interments book. Some of the handwriting was difficult to decipher but every effort was made to maintain accuracy. This is not a complete list.
