In the 1910 "History of Dakota and Goodhue Counties, Minnesota", by Editor-In-Chief Franklyn Curtiss-Wedge, he wrote: ‘... St. Luke’s Parish Cemetery ... 9 May 1856, Abraham Traux donated five acres of land in the southwest quarter of section 34 to the parish of St. Luke’s for the purpose of a cemetery, to be governed by the church. The first body buried in this cemetery was that of Mrs. Hetherington, in May 1856.’ (page 272)
