Commonwealth Cemetery – Florence County – United States

Commonwealth Cemetery is in Florence Township, Florence County, Wisconsin, about one-half mile south of Florence along County Trunk N. Cemetery records date its establishment to 1883 and identify it also as St. Mary’s Cemetery. The grounds are in Section 28 and are adjacent to a separate St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery, which is also documented in the area. Burial transcriptions include graves dating from the late nineteenth century through the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, reflecting Florence County’s long-settled communities. The recorded interments include members of families with Scandinavian, Italian, Polish, and other European surnames, consistent with the region’s varied settlement history. Genealogists should compare cemetery transcriptions with monument photographs and local records, since online burial lists may not represent every grave.
