The first burial in Minneapolis Pioneers and Soldiers Cemetery took place in 1853. Over the next 70 years approximately 27,000 people were buried in the cemetery. During the late 19-teens and early 1920's, approximately 7,000 people were removed. The records for the remaining 20,000 have been transcribed, and we are in the process of creating a searchable database.
