“Knud and Anna Thompson deeded ten acres of land in 1882 to the Greenwood Cemetery Association for a cemetery site.  Located southwest of Brookings, SD in the northwest corner of the northeast quarter of Section 34 in Brookings Township.

Between 1882 and about 1970 several more acres of land, in about six different transactions, we acquired.  Now the present Greenwood Cemetery consists of about twenty acres.  It is well maintained by the Greenwood Cemetery Association.

Many of the earliest burials recorded were babies and children.  Family names of these early burials were Allison, Brink, Buehre, Cook, Culbertson, Devitt, Gaylord, Gatchell, Getty, Hughson, Hall, Jagerson, Lewis, Lloyd, Madden, Minier, McMurphy, Pierce, Walker and Wright.”
