Swedish Lutheran Cemetery

 

The Swedish Lutheran Cemetery is located on the south side of Knoxville on Division St.  The small, grassy area that is surrounded by houses is mostly empty of markers except for a few on the east side of the cemetery and one near the entrance.   A few stones were omitted, either because they were unreadable or because they were new markers with recent birth dates and no death dates inscribed.

 Many thanks to the person(s) who takes care of this cemetery!
