St. Martin's Cemetery is located just north and east of Belle Plaine on Belle Plaine Avenue.  The caretaker for St. Martin's stacks toppled and broken stones along the fence line where the weeds and flowers hide them.

UPDATE: Matthew J Otto sent in information regarding the Civil War Veterans that are interred in this cemetery -- Civil War Vets are an elite group and we are grateful to Matt for supplying the additional information.
