Kenosha County Cemetery,
Pleasant Prairie, WI
Contributed by John Hewes, jahrn@hotmail.com
This cemetery is a "paupers'" cemetery. Burials occurred between the years
of 1924-1972. It is located in Kenosha County, the Village of Pleasant
Prairie. To find the cemetery, turn south off Highway 50, onto County Road
"H". The cemetery will be on the east side of the road, near the power
plant. If you plan to visit this cemetery, be extremely careful, as the
ground is settling.
Because only the indigent and unknown are buried here, only two styles of
tombstones are found. Early stones (1924-about 1928) are engraved with name
and date of death. Later stones (1928-1972) were pre-fabricated cement
stones (produced in bulk). After the stone was set, a metal plate was
attached to the stone with the name and date of death. Many of these plates
are now missing. In one corner of the cemetery, a line of unused stones
remain. Although I did begin with a survey of the cemetery in May, 2003,
this transcription is primarily based on actual burial records. The original
records are held by the Kenosha County Clerk, Edna Highland. Special thanks
are due to her office for providing copies from the record book. This
project completed July 8, 2003.
