Medo Lutheran Cemetery is associated with the ghost town of Medo, which was also known as Cream. Medo is a Winnebago Indian word which means "small potatoes."
Settled shortly after reservation lands were opened in 1863, Medo had a post office (1866 to 1904), a blacksmith shop, a general store, a feed store, and the Medo Lutheran Church, with its cemetery.
Mail was delivered by stagecoach in Medo from Mountain Lake. The community was a busy trade center until the railroad chose nearby Pemberton for a station stop and depot. As Pemberton floutished, Medo declined. Today the cemetery is the most tangible evidence a town was ever here. (Source Minnesota's Lost Towns, Southern Edition, by Rhonda Fochs)
