While the information presented here is accurate to our knowledge, no guarantee of accuracy is implied. 

The scope of this Codington County Cemetery Census Project is to provide an accurate and complete 

census of all of the rural cemeteries and individual burials in Codington County, South Dakota. It includes 

all known burials in the county with the exception of the two large Watertown cemeteries, Mount Hope and 

St. Mary's Catholic. Records have been researched at the cemeteries, cross-referenced with courthouse 

records, and the cemeteries walked. 

Key: 

We extend a heartfelt thank you to Merva Carlson for her tireless efforts toward compiling this 

information. The project has been largely hers. Merva has devoted hundreds of hours to make 

this census the most complete and accurate cemetery census ever done in Codington County. This 

project would never have been completed without her dogged determination and attention to 

detail. We wish to also thank Delores Hartley, Marge Bunde, and Erland Carlson for their 

assistance.

HOLY ROSARY CEMETERY 

The story began in 

the late 1870’s and early 

1880’s, the government 

opened up the Dakota 

Territory for homesteading. 

In 1873 a branch line known 

as the Winona & St. Peter, 

ran through to Kampeska. It 

lay dormant until 1878, when 

it was repaired after the 

prairie fires had partially 

destroyed it. In April1878 a 

group of German Catholics 

led by Nicholas Kranz, 

started negotiations with the 

Chicago and Northwestern 

Railroad for the land. They 

informed Mr. Kranz in June, that there were crews repairing the railroad to Gary and 

would continue to Lake Kampeska. By May Nicholas Kranz, Johann Kranz, Mathias 

Kranz, Charles Kranz, Joseph Stumpf, Michael Ludwig, Frank Marx, Nicholas Haan, 

Henry A. Hanten and Joseph J. Fox left for Dakota Territory for ground breaking. By 

August the ground was prepared, surveyors were employed and finished the town plat on 

Sept. 16 th . The town was named Kranzburg in honor of the chief founders. 

After building their own homes the pioneers collected money, ($750), from the 

settlers and the home church at New Trier, MN to build a church. The railroad donated 

the land, a 20’ by 28’ frame structure was built. On June 24, 1879, the First Mass was 

celebrated by the Rev.Alex Berghold. The church was blessed and named Holy Rosary, 

Mary of the Holy Rosary. He cared for these people as a mission parish until May 1, 

1880. Father Chrysostom Foffa, O.S.B. came on May 1, 1880 as the first resident pastor. 

until June of 1881. Rev. A. Bergman arrived on July 1, 1881, He ministered to the 

Catholics in Big Stone City, Milbank, Watertown and Traverse City. He was transferred 

in Dec. 1883. Rev. Phillip Albrecht came on Jan. 1, 1884 and remained until Aug. 1, 

1887. Rev. Jacob Shirra was the fourth pastor appointed in Aug 1,1887 and died on June 

21, 1892. The fifth was Rev M.A. Sack. He remained until Sept. 1894. Rev. H. Victor 

was the sixth pastor to the congregation in Sept. 1894 when the present gothic brick 

church was built at a cost of $18,000.00, the cornerstone being laid in 1898. The seventh 

pastor was Rev. H. J. Hansen, who served from July 1, 1902 until 1910. The eighth pastor 

was Rev. A. B. Conrad, he served until June of 1912. The ninth pastor was Father John 

A. Krebs, who took charge on June 5, 1912 and served until Sept., 1913. The tenth pastor 

was Rev. Joseph C. Zimmerman who served from Sept. 24, 1913 until April 1927. The 

eleventh pastor was Father F.S. Gruenheck. He served the parish the longest, from 1927 

until 1976. He is buried in the Holy Rosary Cemetery beside his parents. Other Priests 

who have served the Parish are Gilbert Hess, OSB, Robert Krantz, Charles Mangan,

Richard Baumberger. 

Father Gregg Frankman 

is the current priest 

serving the Parish. The 

new bells were blessed in 

1930 donated by Mrs. 

Crescentia Raml and her 

son Wenzel Raml. 

The first person 

to be buried in Holy 

Rosary cemetery was 

Joseph Ludwig, an 

infant, who was buried 

on Aug. 3, 1880. In 1917 

a large number of 

evergreens, spruce, etc. 

were bought and planted 

on church property. 

Those planted in the 

cemetery were planted in 

the form of a cross that 

can be readily seen from 

the air. Many of the 

present parishioners can 

recall carrying water so 

that the trees should 

survive and grow. There 

is a large Cross with 

Unknown Photo 

Jesus crucified in the 

center of the cemetery, 

with the Stations of the Cross to the North. On the North end there is large statue of 

Mary of the Holy Rosary. 

The first school in Codington Co. was at Kranzburg Dist. # 5. On June 30, 1879 

G. W. Spooner was chosen chairman, to see to the building of a school and the cost was 

not to exceed $1000.00 . The school was conducted from Dec.1879 through Mar. 1880, 

taught by A. D. Sutherland at a salary of $30.00 a month. The tuition was $1.34 a pupil 

per month. Enrollment was 29 pupils, with their ages ranging from 5 through 21 years. 

The school was always upgraded and by 1891 the teachers had to have a Second Grade 

Certificate. The subjects taught were Reading, Spelling, Arithmetic, U.S. History, 

Geographies, Composition and Music. In 1888 a Webster Dictionary was purchased to go 

with the new black board and lights. On Dec. 24, 1945 the Catholic school burned to the 

ground. District #5 still stands today, but has not been used for many years. The Catholic 

Parish had a cooperative agreement with District #5, that they could use the building, 

because the enrollment was so large, that grades 4 and 5 used that building until 1969. 

On July 10, 1949 construction began. It was a Catholic School until 1968 when 

redistricting Codington Co. created a problem, so the 7 th and 8 th grades would be sent to

Watertown or Waverly by bus to Junior High School and High School. The grades now 

in the school are K through the 6 th .
