The following names are from the church death records. Not all persons are buried in the church cemetery in Belknap. The Pastors who served the church from 1873 to the present officiated at these funerals. If the Pastor entered that a burial was in another cemetery or if my data base shows another cemetery location, that will be listed. Otherwise, it is assumed all burials are in the St. Michael's - Belknap Cemetery. I included the name of a husband and/or wife even though they were not listed in the death records. Most names will show baptism names and maiden names. The listing of names is alphabetized by family surname.
Special credit goes to Norma nee Trapp Beebe for copying the church records.
