Plot:

Block 2, Lot PF-41. This person is buried in the Potter s Field area of the Eagle River Cemetery. Potter's Field, paupers' grave or common grave, is a term for a place for the burial of unknown or indigent people. The US expression Potter's Field derives from the Bible, referring to a field used for the extraction of potter's clay; such land, useless for agriculture, could be used as a burial site. In the Eagle River Cemetery Potter s Field graves are full graves marked with a burial lot number etched on a cement marker, 4 in diameter, buried flush with the ground. Many markers, over time, were covered with soil and overgrown grass. As of August 2015, all Potter s Field markers have been located, uncovered and painted red by Max E. Rockafellow, member, Eagle River Genealogical Society. The Cemetery Sexton encourages relatives to arrange for placement of a monument or marker. The GPS coordinates, 45.91658 89.23495 are for the center of the field.
