Tieszen  Cemetery
 
Section 3 - Rosefield Township - Turner County - South Dakota

        Bethesda  Church

The first building for the Bethesda or Tieszen Mennonite Church was dedicated in 1883 after being built by a group of some 88 members who had separated from an earlier congregration formed in the late 1870's.  This first structure was replaced in 1909 and services were given in German until the late 1940's.  The building shown above was dedicated in 1956 and serves a large area in northwestern Turner County mostly populated by German Mennonite farmers who settled in the mid 1870's after emigrating from southern Russia to obtain social and religious freedom.
