Pine Bend Cemetery

Rosemount township, Dakota county, Minnesota: T115N - R18W, section 18

This cemetery has regular care and is in good shape. The cemetery is located just East and across Highway 52 from the very odorous Koch Refinery. There are few 'newer' burials. In the north-west area there are several Civil War burials, but are now only marked by G.A.R. 1861-1865 signs with no burial monuments. There were several burial monuments that used a certain type of rock which was difficult to decipher.

The Dakota county cemetery records compilation lists this cemetery as: Pine Bend Cemetery Association. Organized 15 June 1876. There are burials prior to this date, some in 1874. Located NW 1/4 of Section 18. Highway 52.

Pine Bend Cemetery.
Highway 52 South, Rosemount
approximately 22 miles from the Twin Cities

As you laze among the tombs and try to hold your breath you may well amuse yourself by recalling that Rosemount purportedly received its name from Irish settlers who were inspired by memories of a picturesque village in Ireland.

The extinct settlement of Pine Bend is commemorated by a fading historical marker just off the highway shoulder a quarter-mile or so to the north. But this tribute to the Dakota village of Chief Medicine Bottle is even easier to miss than the cemetery, obscured as it presently is by the debris of highway construction. The plaque, in the likely event that you are unable (or unwilling to risk your life) to get close enough to actually view its corroded text, reads as follows:

"The cornfields and village of the Sioux Chief Medicine Bottle occupied the land between this point and the river from 1838-1852. This friendly Chief, uncle of the Medicine Bottle executed in 1865, with his band moved to the Redwood Agency after the Mendota Treaty of 1851 and died before the Sioux outbreak of 1862. This marker also stands on the abandoned roadbed of the St. Paul and Southern Railway."
