The Rochester Post Bulletin did an extensive story on the park and the cemetary a few years ago. You would need a subscribtion to the paper to search the archives, so find a friend who subscribes. I never knew about the cemetary although I had beento the park. It was the party place when I was a kid although I never hung around there much. People used to get ugged there at night, etc. I never knew they stored bodies in the caves until I read that article.  They used to take empty gallon size cans and fill them with concrete. They's carve a number in the concrete and when it dried they'd use the cement for the grave markers. A few people had actual tombstones. There used to be (and might still exist) a record of what number belonged to who, but over the years the mowing crews would throw the markers in the woods because it made it easier to mow, so now no one knows what marker goes to what grave. There's a second, older cemetary there that no one seems to know the exact location of. They used to store bodies in the caves during the winter until the ground thawed and they could be buried. Sometime in the 70s or 80s the head maintenance man started guessing about how many people he thought would die and would cover that many grave sites with straw so they could be buried right away. Until it was a prison hospital it was a state hospital so people who were there were generally poor or had no family. I had a teacher whose daughter worked there. She told me about a woman who had been there since she was a little girl. She would have been in her 40s when I heard about her. There was nothing wrong with her except her parents didn't want her. People did that a lot, took their kids there and said they were crazy. The staff knew there was nothing wrong with her but they didn't release her because she'd lived there since she was about 7 and would have no clue how to make it on her own. It was a good hospital with a good staff. Politics closed it to the Minnesota taxpayers and turned it into a federal prison hospital where the lowest scum have free medical care from Mayo Clinic staff. I never thought Quarry Hill was scary. If you want scary, go over to Van Hook cemetary. It's on a peninsula that juts out into Silver Lake. It's best if you see Night of the Living Dead just before you go. We did that one time. We walked in and stared going to the right on the road that circles the cemetary. Someone else was there doing the same thing and we bumped into them on the lake side. I think we probably all peed our pants we scared each other so bad. It's the creepiest cemetary I've ever been to, and I still love the place, so please, no vandals. If you go there enjoy it and respect the place.

There are caves all over the hills in that area. Jesse and Frank James are said to have hid out there after the Northfield raid. There was a cave behind Kellog school we used to play in before Kellog was built. It's mostly covered oever now although I could still find it. At that time where Kellog is there was a cornfield and above it on the hill a burned out farm. Wild horses ran around up there then, there weren't houses all over like there are now. At night you could here cayotes howl. I remember when they were building Kellog there was a fire in it one night. My mother was a nurse and was going to go to the fire to help if anyone was injured. She was getting her boots out of a cubby hole on the side of the basement stairs and would up falling down the stairs. Never made it to the fire. Funny I'd remember that, I couldn't have been more than 4 or 5 at the time.

one day my grandma me and my aunt whent in a cave and my grandma saw someone standing by her  and nobody was there.

last night i whent to the cemetary and heard screams and voices andsaw the man haing there. I was never so scared in my life.
