History

This cemetery is an active cemetery established in May 1867. The original congregation of German and Danish settlers was organized as St. Martin's Church of Hartland. The first services of the church were held on January 12, 1868. In 1873 the Danish and Germans became separate congregations, but shared the same church until 1910. The Danish Church became the Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church, and the German Church became the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church. In 1910, the Zion Church sold its interest in the church to the Danish church and then built another church across the road. The Danes built a larger church on the same site. In 1935, the Danish Church changed the name to Our Savior's Lutheran Church. A new church was built north of Hartland Village in 1970. On May 28, 1923, the Hartland Lutheran Cemetery Association was incorporated by the two churches. This association operates the cemetery now known as Hartland Lutheran Cemetery.

Records

There are cemetery records 1869-date. The earlier dates are from the tombstones and some graves are not known. There is a chart of the oldest part of the cemetery and has taken names and information from the tombstones for those burials before the incorporation of the association in 1923. The plat of the new upper section of the cemetery, referred to as the first addition, is recorded at the Waukesha County Courthouse. The plat only shows the layout of the cemetery, not the names of the people buried there. Records are available for public research. The Association will answer mail requests at no charge.
