MADISON CEMETERY
HISTORY
1856·1996

A brief History of the Madison Lutheran Church
In 1856 the Madison Congregation built a Church on the Erik G. Egge Farm
in Madison Township Section 32, Township 98 North, Range 9 West. It was
never completed, because of the Congregation's growth it became entirely
too small. The first Cemetery is there. Lot 2 - .26A. Now known as the
Bergan Cemetery. It has a Historical Marker with the names of those buried
there.
In 1859 Elling and Mari (Skare) VoId gave some of their land in Sec. 10 -
T98N - R9W with the intention that a Church be built there. This was not
to be, but a fenced in .68A Cemetery is there. Known as the VoId, East
Madison Cemetery. This together with the Pioneer Cemetery were the only
ones used until 1872.
In 1869 it was decided to divide the Congregation into two parts. South of
the Milwaukee Railroad would be the Lincoln Congregation and to the North
, would be the Madison Congregation, who decided in 1871 t -) buy 2 acres of land
I
from Helge Nilsen Myran Sec. 8-T98N-R9W.
The cornerstone for the new Church was laid Sept. 8, 1872 by Pastor Nils Brandt.
Dedication took place Nov. 4, 1873. This Church was built of brick.
In 1905 it was decided to build a new Church as the old one was so cold and in
lpoor
condition. In order to have more room for the Church, Cemetery and
Hitching ground, Mr. Helge Myran gave the Congregation I! acres of land. The
cornerstone for this Church was laid Sept. 30. 1906 by Pastor G. Smedal.
Later an additional l! acres of land was bought from Clifford Kjos adding
more space for the Cemetery on the North side.

Special thanks to Helen Blekeberg, Darla Bakken and their helpers
who mapped out the VoId and Madison Church Cemeteries, giving me
the names, dates, and locations of everyone buried there. Without
their help, I would not have known how to start this book.
Also thank you to Rosella Goettleman for all her help in doing
research and to all the people who gave me history about their
relatives.
I hope that it will be a help to future generations who come
searching for their family roots. I know mistakes have been made.
Also, sometimes, the dates on the stones are not the same as found
in the Church Records. Sometimes, I think that the date on the
stone is when it was put up, not the true death date.

MADISON SETTLEMENT CHURCH AND CEMETERY
Now Known as THE BERGAN CEMETERY
In 1851 Pastor Nils Brandt began work among Norwegian Lutheran Immigrants
of "Madison Settlement". This is the site of their first Church (1856)
and Cemetery. In 1869 Madison and Lincoln Congregations were formed from
this original group. The first couple wed in the County were members of
this Settlement. Pastor U. V.Koren also served during this period.
(Copied from the Historical Marker.)
It was a frame Church 40 x 28 ft. Sacristy 16 feet square. This Church
was never completed and because of the congregations growth became entirely
too small and hopeless.
(Written by Rev. Thomas Nilssen, Pastor 1904 - 1913.)
Located Section 32, Madison Twp. on land owned by Eric P. Egge and was
built in 1854 on one Acre.
John Evenson and Catharine Helen Evenson, his wife received one dollar from
the Norwegian Lutheran Church of Winn. Co. for one acre of land for the
Cemetery Nov. 16, 1855.
