Bridgeport Cemetery
Located on the Dave Ennis homestead, the Bridgeport Cemetery is one quarter of a mile north of the town of Bridgeport and is bordered by a county road. The cemetery was first used when bodies had to be moved from the cemetery of the former mining town of Clarksville as the ground there was being mined out. Land for the Bridgeport Cemetery was later donated by the Wendt Brothers. Cemetery established in 1860 (?)
The cemetery is located on high dry land. Graves are cared for only by relatives and friends. There are no known burial records kept despite the nearby community of Bridgeport. Abandoned cemetery. Location of cemetery
