This project is for those buried in St. Thomas Catholic Church Cemetery, located on 43201 208th Street, De Smet, Kingsbury County, South Dakota.

Graves of members of the Charles Ingalls family are located here. Follow the signage to the graves of Caroline & Charles Ingalls, Mary Ingalls, Carrie Ingalls Swanzey, and the infant son of Laura & Almanzo Wilder, with the graves of Grace & Nate Dow nearby (follow the cement sidewalk). Originally, only Charles Ingalls’s grave was marked, with his headstone at the west (back) side of the Lot. In 1958, Rose Wilder Lane had Pa’s headstone lettering re-cut, and the newly-formed Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Group (now the LIW Memorial Society) added markers for Caroline, Mary, and Baby Wilder. Pa’s marker was moved to the front of the lot. Carrie’s grave had a marker from the time of her burial and it was replaced to match those added to the row.
