OCONTO, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) A new monument is in place at an Oconto cemetery. It honors hundreds of people buried in an area historically set aside for those who couldn’t pay for burial services.
On a section of ground at the Evergreen Cemetery in Oconto, a two-ton granite boulder stands alone. It marks the area known as a potter’s field.
“Here, it’s really sacred ground,” said Peter Gabrielson, Oconto.
Gabrielson says since the 1850s, possibly 300 people, whose families couldn’t afford the service were buried at the cemetery. Many are located near the south entrance.
