| Notes Cemetery named for John Atkinson (1805-1892) who acquired land in the 1840's and built a home by Old Territorial Road between Pt Douglas and St Paul. Cemetery started in 1860's as a family graveyard and gradually became a community burial ground for families in the area. An association was charted in 1874 but was non existent in the early 1900's. The last burial was in 1907. The cemetery was regraded by the Lion's Club and the city took over ownership in 1980. Broken tombstones were set in concrete horizontally in the shade of a maple tree in the center of the cemetery. There are approximately 50 burials with 26 tombstones. The cemetery is in an unique setting, between McDonald's and Tires Plus. A bronze marker with the cemetery name was installed in 1982 by the Washington County Historical Society. | ||||||||||||

| Notes Cemetery named for Jacob Fahlstrom who converted to Methodism in 1837 and for his work as a missionary to Indians and as a lay preacher to white settlers. There are about a dozen graves. The location of the graves is undisclosed but there are several markers made in granite, metal, and concrete. A memorial marker on the graves of Jacob and Margaret Fahlstrom was dedicated by the Historical Society of the MN Conference of Methodist Church in 1964. In 1997 the Fahlstrom land was sold for the development of homes. The developer cleared underbrush and improved the cemetery by installing crushed rock paths and a wrought iron fence surrounding the markers.

Notes Mount Hope is the oldest cemetery in Afton. It was dedicated the same year the village was platted, 1855. It was officially assigned five acres; land donated by the Haskell and Getchell families but the cemetery never grew beyond one half acre. The first burial was in 1854, the last in 1892. Poor access probably accounts for its discontinued use. Many graves are scattered in a wooded area. Some have large monuments and fences. Until recently, the cemetery could only be reached via a steep winding former wagon trail. The City of Afton who now maintains the cemetery has completed a new driveway and two car parking area and have graveled the trail. Borings done in 2000 by archeology people revealed as many as 60 burials with no markers. There are four Civil War veterans buried in this cemetery. Several community groups have occasionally tried to rescue the cemetery from vandalism and lack of care. See: "Afton Remembered" published 1996, pp 53-54, by Edwin G.

| Notes The cemetery was located on North Shore Road, two miles north of village of Forest Lake. Land for cemetery was given some time after 1856. Jeremiah Poston was given quit claim deed by Thomas Connally at Stillwater, acting land agent for President Buchanan. For $200.00 Poston bought a quarter section of land. He set aside one acre for a burial plot. At one time the names of those buried there were on old white markers. It included the families of Shiels, Stipes, Simmons, Veith, Poston, Peoples, and Marshes. The cemetery no long exists. See: "Forest Lake Times" dated September 15, 1949. | ||||||||||||

John and Elizabeth Erickson, in 1990, stated "Nancy Oldham and her parents were said by Mr. & Mrs. Ralph Paulson to be buried in unmarked graves on the west side of Trading Post Road, one mile south of its junction with Co Rd 18 southwest of Afton". An Afton old timer who has died, remembered the burial plot being on the northwest corner of Trading Post Trail and 50th Street in Afton and that the landowner plowed around it in the middle of the field and trees had grown around the plot. | ||||||||||||

Its work was taken over by the Swedish Methodist Episcopal Church in Afton. The register of burials was kept in the record book of the Mound Prairie Church Association formed in 1896 and an old plat map shows a church in one corner. The earliest known burial was of Fannie Guy in 1859. A bronze marker with the cemetery name was installed in 1983 by the Washington County Historical Society.

| Notes The cemetery carries the name given the original Newport settlement in 1843 by John A. Ford. In 1848 John Holton, a Newport pioneer made this land available for the private burials of the families of the area's oldest settlers. Some people associated with the Red Rock Methodist Camp meetings during the 1868 to 1937 period are also buried here. It is less than an acre and has about 33 burials; about 24 are marked with headstones, obelisks, and tablets. Cemetery is situated on steep rising land, making maintenance difficult. The Association dates from 1921 but the burial ground is much older, going back to the 1860's. Early records were destroyed in a house fire in 1921; later records are incomplete. The last interment was in 1982. A brass marker with the cemetery name was installed in 1989 by the Washington County Historical Society.
