(This cemetery is also known as German Valley Cemetery)

Re-Indexed by Dave Lee, June 2005

Originally indexed by Zelpha & Bennie Erickson, Charles Beck & Rufus Dimmick on 06 Sep 1982



The St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery is located on CTH "O" in the Town of Hale, (approximately 5 miles north of Whitehall). 

Rows are numbered from West to East.  Start in Northwest corner.

Some stones have been placed for people who are still living.  To protect the privacy of those individuals, yet noting that a stone is in place, the name of the individual has been given, followed by the notation "[private]".

Data placed here is understood to be compiled (but not necessarily exactly as found) from the tombstones. Please remember that not all tombstone data (on the stones themselves) is accurate.  Therefore, corrections will only be made after visual proof has been provided in the form of a photograph of the actual stone.

The following notations and their meanings have been applied to the data below:


OSSW = On Same Stone With
[ JONES ] = Indicates surname is not given on stone
