History:
Saint Mary's Garden is a cemetery in good condition as country cemeteries go. It is fenced and the graves are in rows. It is overgrown with native grasses most of the year but it is cleaned before Memorial Day each year.
The cemetery was organized in June 1901 by Louie Menard and Chas. Roubideaux. It is a Catholic cemetery. Most of the burials are Indian but the Whites used it before Evergreen was established in Wood.
