Komstad Cemetery – Clay County – United States

Komstad Cemetery is in Glenwood Township, Clay County, South Dakota, at 29987 465th Avenue, west of the Komstad Covenant Church and about 2½ miles south of South Dakota Highway 46. Land for the cemetery was reportedly donated to the church by John G. Anderson in 1874, although the cemetery’s first mention in church records dates to November 1884. A 1901 meeting authorized a surveyed map and the sale of burial lots, while the northern third was added in 1924 and another 60 feet was added in May 1960. A memorial endowment established in 1924 helped fund maintenance through invested principal, interest, donations, and lot sales. The grounds remain in use and are enclosed by a fence with three gates on the east side. Burial information can also be researched through South Dakota’s state cemetery-record search and Clay County cemetery collections.
