Danish Lutheran Cemetery

Section 29 - Spring Valley Township - Turner County - South Dakota

Spring Valley Lutheran Church

A very active Danish community began forming in the late 1800's in the area of Viborg South Dakota, including Swan Lake and Spring Valley. By 1990 three Danish Lutheran churches had been formed, one in each community, and families from Denmark were arriving to take residency in this area. Some who had arrived in the US earlier were relocating to take advantage of the rich farmland in southeastern South Dakota. Most of these folks stayed close together and their lives focused around their churches and related activities. Each church had a cemetery that became quite large over the years.

The Spring Valley Danish Cemetery information database consists of 3 parts.

This information was prepared by Ken Tiahrt (tiahrt@montana.edu) with the generous assistance of the cemetery sexton and may be freely copied by individuals and non-profit organizations for their private use. Any other use, including publication, storage in a retrieval system, or transmission by electronic, mechanical, or other means requires written approval.

1. A Cemetery Map

An approximate map of the cemetery showing the individual lots in relationship to the adjacent Turner County Roadways, 289 Street & 447 Avenue, gives the user a physical setting. Very specific locations for a given burial plot can not be found using this information source.

2. A List of Burials

A listing of the burials at Danish Lutheran Cemetery – Section 29 – Spring Valley Township – Turner County, gives the individual names in order of lot numbers. This listing also gives the date of birth and date of death when available. Most lots are large enough to accommodate as many as 16 graves, specific grave sites are not given because apparently no official cemetery record book still exists. Some individuals are listed who were "owners" of the lots, and may be buried in the lot without a monument if no photo is given or may not be buried in this cemetery at all.

3. Photos of Grave Monuments

Each photo is matched to the individual listed on a given line entry. Because there is apparently no longer an official cemetery book available the lot number for a given photo may be off by one or possibly 2 lots. This lack of an official record book is likely due to the loss of 2 church buildings over the years, one due to a storm and a second from a fire. The accuracy available with the records in this document is acceptable for most genealogical purposes. Use your browser return icon to exit from a photo and go back to this page.
