"If The Tombstone Could Talk What A Tale It Would Weave"
by Kay Mooker(former Secretary) and James Presl (past Sexton)

No, the City of Two Rivers is not including a mystery novel here in this year's calendar. 
Yet, there are many tales that could be told here in our City owned cemeteries. Buried 
here are many of the hard working pioneers of Two Rivers. Most of them were "common folk" 
with tales of many hardships as they picked up their roots and made their way to the "new 
world"

Early records are very incomplete and little is known on the cemeteries' beginnings. The 
earliest known burial is that of Henry Stockwell, who died in 1847. there were people in 
this area before that time, so it is possible that the cemetery was formed even before that. 
Pioneers' Rest and Calvary Cemeteries make up the "old cemetery" as it is known by local 
folk. Originally, there was an area of the "old cemetery" known as "Potter's Field." Here 
persons who lived in the Town or City of Two Rivers had the right to a free burial. The 
"new cemetery", Holy Cross and Forest View, were formed about 1909.

A tale of a sad tragedy happened October 28,, 1887, when the S.S. Vernon sank off the coast 
of Two Rivers and all but one of the 40 persons aboard drowned. Eight sailors, who were never
identified, are buried in Pioneers' Rest Cemetery. A monument was erected by the local people
in their memory, and in 1965 the Two Rivers Historical Society erected another marker including
more information.

One of the most well known landmarks in the cemeteries is the "Voshardt Mausoleum" which was
built in 1914. "A first-class piece of work in every respect" is what H.F. Voshardt of Chicago,
Illinois had commissioned Chas. G. Blake & Co. to construct. The mausoleum has a white 
polished marble interior with sixteen entombments within, the surnames of: Voshardt, 
Kahlenberg, and Mueller.

It was decided in 1923 that the City owned cemeteries needed names, so a contest was held. 
The City Council choose the names from all entries and awarded $5.00 to Miss Minta Schneider, 
daughter of Henry Schneider, Sexton, for her submission of "Forest View" and $5.00 was awarded 
to Thomas Hayes, son of Alderman Hayes, for his submission of "Pioneers' Rest."

Originally, Calvary and Holy Cross Cemeteries were owned by The Catholic Cemetery Society of
Two Rivers. With permission granted by Bishop Paul Rohde, these cemeteries were turned over
to the City in 1929.

Because records were very poorly kept in the early days and vandalism of the old tombstones,
there are several "unknown" burials. Now with over 11,000 burials, The City of Two Rivers has
installed a computer in the Cemetery Office. All records will be entered and rechecked for 
accuracy. Already, a couple of "unknown" graves have been identified by sorting through the
old books and records.

Year round the Cemetery Department consists of three full time employees and one part-time 
secretary. To keep the grounds mowed, trimmed, and looking great, addition part-timme people
are added during the warmer months.

We wish to invite you to take a walk through your City Cemeteries and see for yourself the
history that surrounds you and the beautifully kept grounds. If you have any questions, please
feel free to call or visit our office.  James Presl, Sexton
