Driving directions to it (for those not knowing the road names) would be 4 miles east of Boelus (Hiway 58) and l mile north on Salem R The first Scandinavian Lutheran Church in Howard County was on this corner with the cemetery. It was dedicated on Dec. 28th 1884. Located in Section 28, township 13, Range 11 near the "Loup River wagon road". The church attendance dwindled following the construction of the Lutheran Church in Dannebrog and the building was later demolishe Not sure of the year but many years ago. I imagine the cemetery was dedicated about the same time as the first marked grave was the Larson boy in l886.
