Mount Valley Bethel Lutheran Church

TOKERUD

My great grandparents, Olaus and Elene Gunderson are buried at the small cemetery that was the site of Mount Valley Bethel Lutheran Church. This church was an Ellings Synod Church that was started about 1893 and was defunct by about 1913. My question is - "Does anyone know where the records for this church are?" My great great grandfather, Ole Olsen Tokerud died in the last 6 months of 1894, per the 1895 Iowa State Census. His wife died in 1880 and was buried at Winnebago Lutheran. Her funeral is in the Winnebago Lutheran church records.

Her husband's funeral is not in Winnebago Church records. Winnebago Lutheran cemetery records were destroyed by fire. I can only assume that the funeral for Ole Olsen Tokerud [1805-1894] was held at Mount Valley Bethel Lutheran Church.

Neither the Vesterheim in Madison nor the ELCA Archives have any microfilm of Mt. Valley Bethel Lutheran Church.

I would appreciate any help in locating the records of Mount Valley Bethel Lutheran Church, so that I could determine the exact date of death for my gg grandfather.
