Memorial
Cherished be the memory of the early pioneers who in their wisdom organized the German Salem Methodist Church and founded this cemetery in 1857.
The first religious meeting was conducted in 1857 at the John Bush home by Rev. H. Singenstrue, a German Methodist. A Society was organized with eight or nine members.
A log church was erected in 1859 one mile west of Klossner in section 5 of Lafayette township. The log structure was replaced in 1875 by a fine brick church at a cost of $3,350. The German Methodist Church was built on land owned by Geo. Durbahn on the north side of the road, 1/4 mile west of this site. A cemetery was established at this location. The church membership grew to sixty by 1882. This congregation merged with New Ulm Methodist in 1909.
