Have You Seen the Ghost of John, or Sven

Fascinating stuff. As Treasurer for the Cub Scout Pack, I’m the “bag man” making money runs all the time. Tomorrow evening, I have to stop by a parent’s house to pick up some receipts, etc. I entered the address in Google and discovered that it is near what Google Maps lists as the Norwegian Cemetery.

Further Googling reveals:

Dale/Rice Cemetery, West County Rd B between Rice and Dale in Roseville, is an old cemetery, noted in 1913 as 'no longer in use.' It was originally the Norwegian Lutheran Cemetery; today it has been owned by the Muslim community since the early 1990s. The name has changed several times, just in the last decade: Rosedale, Rice/Dale, etc. It is divided into two parts: the older section is in front, with the Muslim interments at the back. The records for the early burials have been lost. Burials since the 1950s in the front part are almost exclusively from the Hennepin County Welfare Department. The Roseville Historical Society has transcribed the records for 1950-1988.

Muslim/Norwegian Cemetery with some paupers’ graves thrown in. Very interesting. Too bad it will be dark outside, sounds like an interesting place to visit. On the hand, perhaps night time is the right time to visit a cemetery. Perhaps I’ll run into the ghost of Ahmed Swensson.
