CRUIKSHANK CEMETERY, Located approximately at Franklin and 10th Street (site of city water town) in the City of Wisconsin Rapids, township of Grand Rapids. J. J. CRUIKSHANK donated one acre of land, in 1849, for a cemetery. In a 1914 newspaper article (Wood County Reporter), the editor copied information from the remaining markers. (Some graves had been moved to Forest Hill, while other remained.) This cemetery was used by all people of the area until 1874. It became so crowded that Sexton David Baker could hardly find an unoccupied spot. It was them that Franklin J Wood donated to the city, 25 acres of wooded land at the East edge of town.
