On This Date in Minnesota History: June 2

June 2, 1863 – “Because of the poor condition of the North Hill Cemetery, the Stillwater Messenger reports: ‘The gates are down so that cattle range at large over the grounds, breaking down the shrubbery and tomb stones. A large part of the grounds is growing up to bushes which, in a few years, if not attended to, will become an impenetrable thicket.’"
