FANCY CREEK CEMETERY
Catalogued August 23, 1975 by the Fancy Creek 4-H Club under the
direction of Mrs. Rudy Nigl. Located one mile west of Gillingham on
Wis. 56, section 14, Town of Marshall. The cemetery was, until recent
years, a Presbyterian churchyard cemetery. The church building is no
longer standing. However it's part in the Fancy Creek history will
remain intact as a valued segment of the living force once directed up
this large valley leading westward from Pine River in 1858. Future
burials here will no longer be restricted to membership only. Local
members are presently, since 1959, worshiping in the new Town and
Country Church in Richland Center. A new Wesleyian Methodist church to
the west of the old Fancy Creek church premises is now serving the
valley in it's stead. The grounds are in good condition. The first
known burial was in 1855. One hundred years of community service is now
our last inheritance.
