The Marshall Cemetery was originally established in 1871 by the first white settlers in Lake Marshall Township, Lyon County, Minnesota. In 1897, the Lake Marshall Township Board voted to terminate ownership of the cemetery, and on October 29, 1897, the Marshall Cemetery Association was formally incorporated under Minnesota laws to assume the ownership and management of the cemetery. At that time, the 40-acre tract of land that included the cemetery was deeded to the Association by Lake Marshall Township.
In 1937, the Cemetery Association added another 9 acres along the south side of the cemetery. Those 49 acres comprise the extent of the cemetery as it exists today. When established in 1871, the cemetery was located just northeast of the town of Marshall. In the 150 years since, Marshall has grown and today it is located in a quiet residential area of town. There are many civic leaders and historical figures interred in our cemetery, including veterans of every American conflict since the War of 1812.
