On September 20th high winds, heavy rain and several small tornados hit the town of Cannon Falls in Southern Minnesota. One of the locations with the most damage is the St. Ansgar’s Lutheran Church cemetery. This historic “pioneer” cemetery was created in 1876 and deeded to St Ansgar’s in 1878. It contains 277 grave sites, including seven Veteran grave sites and 8 “unknown” sites of early origin. Over 50 towering oaks and cedar trees provided a beautiful landscape. Virtually every tree was toppled or severely damaged. Members of the church have held four work days to begin clearing branches and inspecting the grave stones for damage. At this time, expert tree removal services must be hired to carefully clear these trees and remove the stumps without causing damage to any of the grave sites. The financial estimate to clean up the cemetery is $38,000. Property insurance will only cover the damage to physical property which is limited to the fence around the cemetery. Each grave site is owned by a family. St. Ansgar’s goal is to renew the cemetery and assist families who’s loved ones resting place has been damaged.
