Bay Church Cemetery Memorial
This 8 foot marble shaft is located in a country cemetery back of Bay Church. The monument was dedicated in August of 1865 in memory of the 14 young men from the area that gave their lives. There are inscriptions on the four sides with the names of the 14 soldiers. An annual Decoration Day service is conducted which closely follows the first service which occurred on May 30, 1866. The cemetery is located a distance in back of the historic Bay Church which was erected in 1873 and restored in 1996. Thank you to SUVCW member James Johnston for providing information about this historic monument and the Decoration Day ceremony. Go past the Delhi town cemetery on 230th Avenue over 2 miles - then turn right on 275th Street 1.8 miles to Bay Church. Photos taken 8/29/08.
