Otterholt Cemetery is located in Section 28 of Prairie Lake Township. This reading does designate rows, and is separated into 2 sections -- section 1 has a few new stones. They lie in the southwestern corner of the section next to the service road. Section 2 was recorded in rows running north to south, beginning at the western-most edge. Surnames with a question mark (?) and those in parenthesis (SMITH) mean that there was no surname found on the stone. Where the maiden name of a woman was included on the stone, it is listed with her given name and is capitalized.
