St. Anthony  Catholic  Cemetery
 
City of Davis - Turner County - South Dakota

A  view of the St. Anthony Catholic Cemetery in Davis, South Dakota

A small group of French settlers from New York settled just east and south of Davis in 1872 having arrived by a lengthy wagon train trip.  This group of Catholic settlers were served by a priest who traveled from Yankton to conduct services and by 1893 the St. Anthony Catholic Church was organized and built in 1894.  It was never a large group and although it survived tornados some members were always moving to other places, so their numbers dwindled and in 1942 the church was closed.  It was later sold in 1958 and then demolished. 

The St. Anthony Cemetery land was bought by the congregation in 1899, on a site that in prior years had served as a camp for the U S Cavalry during the Indian uprisings.  Various members of the former congregation have faithfully served as caretakers of this cemetery over the years and it is considered to be a beautiful, quite and peaceful place.
