The land for a cemetery, and for a church was sold for $25.00 to the Dakota Conference Association of Seventh Day Adventists on November 21st, 1901 by Fred & Marie (Reiswig) Bentz. The land's use was restricted to the use of a church and a cemetery by Fred & Marie. The land was part of the original Bentz homestead. Whether the land was already being used as a cemetery, is unknown.
On November 6, 1907 the cemetery and church land transferred from the Dakota Conference Association of the Seventh Day Adventists to the North Dakota Conference Association of Seventh Day Adventists. This corresponds with the completion of a Church building on this property in the same year. The "Lincoln Valley History, 1899 - 1985" states that the first pastor was Valentine Leer (or Lehr).
Regular church services ceased at this Church sometime in the 1940's or 1950's. It was in the early 1950's that the Seventh-day Adventist Church building was sold for scrap lumber to Mike Dockter, Jr. who used the lumber to build his home.
The earliest burials in the Lincoln Valley Seventh-day Adventist Cemetery, with a record of the date of death, are in 1906. However, we still have a number of burials where we do not have an exact date of death. The latest recorded burial is for Madeline (Suelzle) Rothacker who died on May 14, 1957.
