JEFFERSON PRAIRIE EAST CEMETERY - EST 1849

aka EAST BERGEN CEMETERY

Clinton Township, Rock County, Wisconsin

In the Jefferson Prairie East Cemetery is a marker to indicate the site of the East Church which was also known as the Brick Church. The 2-acre site was purchased in 1848 from Gulik Knudsen for $3.10. The church was constructed the following year. This cemetery has a large area of unmarked graves of cholera epidemic victims. In 1903 the congregations of East Church and West Church merged and now handle the management of both cemeteries.
