St. Mary's  Cemetery  -  Marion,  SD.
 
Section 32 - Monroe Township - Turner County - South Dakota


St.  Mary's  Church in  Marion  on  East  State  Street

***************************************************************************************************
 

The first church established in Marion South Dakota was St. Mary’s Catholic Church in 1880.  In 1912 a  beautiful traditional architecture brick Church was erected.  St. Mary's established a boarding school and academy  in 1902 that closed in the 1930's and later became the first portion of the Tieszen Retirement Home. 

The parish suffered a great tragedy on April 10, 1949 when the church exploded just prior to Palm Sunday Mass. The building was destroyed, six people died and many more were injured.  The church was rebuilt in 1952.  Father Joseph Zimmerman served the parish for over 20 years and is buried near the Crucifix in St. Mary's Cemetery.  The cemetery was started about the same time as the church with the earliest recorded burial being one year old Joseph Weiland in 1880.
