Subject: Re: Norwegian Lutheran Cemetery

Hi Roseanne - there are at least 3 local Norwegian Lutheran Cemeteries, but one is more often called the Dekorra Lutheran Cemetery and one is more often called County Line Cemetery so you probably mean the one on Smokey Hollow Road.  To get there you go out 60 to the east until you come to Smokey Hollow Road turn right and go about half way to County K.  It will be on your right.  If you get to county K [which is Columbus St. in town - left at the head of Main St.] turn around and go back until you see the cemetery on your right.  I don't know exact mileage.  Good luck. Patti.

From R Mills

Here are the remaining tombstone inscriptions:

Peter K. Glimme, born at Voss Norway  Dec 1, 1848,   d. Nov. 3, 1947  {should read 1907 - comment by JS}

Madli Glimme  b. May 22, 1858   d. Oct. 21, 1898

There is also a monument at Smokey Hollow that has the name Alice L. Spilde.
Lower down on the monument, (it's a pillar shaped monument standing over 4'
tall) is the inscription L.H. & A. Spilde.  I'm afraid the writing is so
eroded that I couldn't make anything else out.

From R Mills

A paragraph form the Historical Album 1848 to 1973 Lodi WI.  The article has a short paragraph on Hans Spilde.

Hans Spilde came in 1851 and lived with his wife and son for two years in a dug-out. Then they built a log cabin. They raised wheat but the first crop was of poor quality so they moved to the township of Lodi to a 120 acre farm that they purchased.

Images from the cemetery are on this page.

Thanks to Rick and Roseanne Mills of Lodi, WI for all their help with finding info and taking pictures!!!
