Upland Swedish Lutheran Cemetery
Round Prairie Township Section 11


No church edifice stands at this location now (1969) but there is a cement platform with a large church bell on top.
The bell's plaque reads: "Site of The Upland Lutheran Church; Organized by Swedish Immigrants; January 13 1878. The memory of the riteous is Blessed. Prov. 10:7"

A listing of the names and personal data of the persons buried in the Upland Swedish Lutheran Cemetery along with other information can be found on the pages linked to this index.

While compiling the cemetery listings to provide you with as much information as possible we found it necessary to add an INDEX TO SOURCE INFORMATION. We have made special effort to show from which source the information was obtained in order for you to document the information. A key to the sources will be found on each page.

Since this information has been transcribed several times and its accuracy may be flawed we encourage you to verify this information with all primary information available to you.

If you need further information on a listed name, contact the Jefferson County Genealogical Society or post a Query on our Query Board.

An underlined surname indicates there is a gravestone picture on our Jefferson County portion of The Iowa Gravestone Photo Project. Clicking the underlined name will take you to that picture. Use your Back button to return to this site. If you have a photo of a county gravestone, please consider contributing it to the Project.

This cemetery updated through 2005 courtesy of index cards kept by Verda Baird, and from 2006 forward by Joey Stark from Fairfield Ledger obituaries.

Surnames have been divided into groups as shown in the table below. If a letter appears to be missing it is because there are no surnames beginning with that letter.
