History
It was established officially in 1849, although there were much earlier burials on this site. On December 3, 1849, a three acre parcel was purchased from Nathaniel Walton for $50. On April 13, 1864, an additional five acres was acquired from S.S. Sawyer for $500.
It is a self-supporting municipal cemetery with a five member cemetery commission. Some of the small cemeteries in the county have been relocated to Prairie Home: Prairieville Cemetery, the College and East Avenues cemetery, Muskego Village Cemetery, The Benecke Family Cemetery and the Bidwell or South Pewaukee Cemetery.
Prairie Home also has a Potter's field. There are no stones in Potter's Field area, but the names of the people might be in the records. Some of the burials are unknowns.
There is also a section of the cemetery for the Wisconsin State Industrial School. The plot is full with the last burial in the 1930s. Most of the burials from the Industrial School were before 1900. About half of the boys from the school buried in Prairie Home were known though school records. Other school records show names of boys who died, but give no indication as to where they were buried. Prairie Home kept no records for these burials, since the identity of the boys sent to the school was considered confidential. These were unclaimed boys who died at the school and were buried by the State of Wisconsin. In the Industrial School plot there are only a few stones with names on them and only a few names listed in the record books.
The first person to be buried at Prairie Home was the mother of Reverend O.F. Curtis. Morris Cutler, first settler of Waukesha County, is buried here.
