History- Oconomowoc's first cemetery was created in the early half of 1851, and sat in area off of Walnut St. (near Wisconsin Ave.). In 1864, Oconomowoc decided to sell the old cemetery and put the new cemetery along the banks of Lake Fowler, and after that, La Belle Cemetery was born. Remains, and bodies from the first cemetery at Walnut were brought and relocated to the new cemetery at La Belle. Ever since La Belle remains to be one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Waukesha County. It was created the same year as the Arlington cemetery, and 2014 celbrates the 150th anniversary.

Location- La Belle cemetery is located in Waukesha county in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. It rests on a steep hill near a subdivision. There is a bridge as an entrance which passes over Fowler Lake which borders the west side of the cemetery.

La Belle is a very large cemetery with around 9,000 interments

Nathusius Monument- There is a large statue monument sculpted as a cross and a woman mourning holding a bouquet of flowers. There are four people buried there, including the mother, Louise, the father Carl, the daughter Carolina, and brother Wilhelm. People recall that this statue is haunted and some have witnessed strange activity. There have been sights of an apparition of the girl walking off the monument and to Fowler lake where she drowns herself.

Rumors of Hauntings at La Belle Cemetery- The largest rumor of hauntings at the La belle is the Nathusius Monument. It stands overlooking fowler lake. There is a large statue monument sculpted as a cross and a woman mourning holding a bouquet of flowers. There are four people buried there, including the mother, Louise, the father Carl, the daughter Carolina, and brother Wilhelm. The Nathusius family had two other daughters that aren't buried at La belle. Anna died in 1862 and she was 2, and Minnie, who died in 1886 when she was 27 and both of them were buried in dodge county. Another theory at La belle is the young teenage girl Mary, and Mary committed suicide by jumping off the la belle bridge and drowning herself. It is thought that the Nathusius statue wasn't made for her, but was made for mary, and there are many incidents and articles that say that they saw the ghost of many walking down to fowler lake and downing her self in the waters.
