Winneshiek Co. IAGenWeb

Welcome to the Big Canoe Norwegian Methodist Cemetery Page. This document summarizing data for 86 graves was created by merging the information found in the Works Project Administration (WPA) 1930’s Graves Registration Survey (38 records), the ongoing Iowa Gravestone Photo Project (GPP) (45 records), the previous Big Canoe Norwegian Methodist Cemetery table (82 records), and the ongoing IAGenWeb Obituaries (Obits) (0 records). The left column of the tabulation indicates the source of the summary data WPA (W), GPP (P) and Obits (O). Note that some records have more than one source; this is because in many cases the information is redundant. If there is a disagreement, your county coordinator has used his best judgment about which information to include in the compilation. Please note the four icons below the cemetery tables. These icons can be used to access various web based sources of Big Canoe Norwegian Methodist Cemetery information. This summary contains a wealth of information that was made available by volunteers taking pictures and transcribing data. Those volunteers are to be applauded, keep up the good work!

Connie Street is the past Winneshiek County IAGenWeb coordinator. While Connie was coordinator she uploaded over 650 pictures to the GPP project database. Thank you Connie, and the many others who have taken the time to share their cemetery pictures with us, now we can all take a virtual cemetery tour via the internet. Connie's pictures included one for the Big Canoe Norwegian Methodist Cemetery entrance. This is what Connie wrote about the Big Canoe Norwegian Methodist Cemetery. " The Norwegian Methodist Cemetery, about one mile south of Highlandville, was established about 1850. The church closed in the 1930s."
