I just remember my grandma telling me that since we were Catholic in a predominately Lutheran area, they had to fight to even let them be buried in the cemetery, and the markers (I can't remember exactly it's been nearly a decade since I've been there) were crappy wooden crosses and large rocks. I just thought it was weird because it was only the 2 graves - they were way off to the side along the fence. This is still a small rural community, but just a generation later (or maybe slightly younger relatives), my family had headstones. The family makes up a good chunk of the cemetery now.
