CEMETERY

Marquette Cemetery

Marquette, KS | McPherson County

Historically in Sweden, last names was patronymic, meaning one referred to Carl, for example, as Olof's son. Over time this practice led to names being shortened and Carl Olof's son became Carl Olofsson. Names such as Olson, Larsson, Swenson, and Gustafson are common in Marquette Cemetery and other cemeteries with Swedish burials.
