Bear to the left when you first enter the cemetery and it will be on your righthand side. The original tombstone is built into the structure. FUN FACT: my great grandfather, Roy Kratz, built this monument!

The grave of Stephen Taylor, the only known Revolutionary War soldier buried in Minnesota, can be found in Woodlawn Cemetery. His gravesite is designed to resemble Fort Ticonderoga, where he may--or may not--have fought alongside Ethan Allen during the famous 1775 raid of the fort.
