This was Ely's first cemetery. In 1900, the area was purchased by a private individual and it turned out that the cemetery was on his property - he demanded that the graves be removed. A memorial forest was then planted here at the old cemetery. You are in the parking lot of the old USFS Kawishiwi headquarters, which is now located east on Highway 169. The buildings have been sold to a private individual who is renting it to individuals.

One of the largest groups of immigrants to Ely during the early mining days were those people from the now country of Slovenia. I will teach you some Slovenian words. You will need these words to get the answer for “D”. Rojen = born male; Rojena= born female; Umrl=died male;Umrla- died female; Stara=old; Let=year.
D = From the information on Anna's stone and using the Slovenian words, CALCULATE THE YEAR ANNA WAS BORN:
186D.
Translation of the other words on her stone:
ROJENA NA GORNJI PAKI ŠT. 11 = She was born at Gornja Paka number 11. (city in Slovenia and house number)
