Pine Hill Cemetery (German Baptist Church Cemetery)
Rock Springs, Sauk County, Wisconsin

Lat: 43° 29' 50"N, Lon: 89° 54' 42"W

Contributed by Kathy Waddell, Jun 11, 2002 [kaffe03@yahoo.com]. Total records = 136.

Location: One and one quarter mile north of Rock Springs on Hwy 136 or about 4 and one half miles south of Hwy 33 on Hwy 136. East on Ableman Road then .5 miles to Haven Road. Turn right. Cemetery is at the end of the road about a 1/4 mile. The left back section is Pine Hill Cemetery.

In 1860 a German Baptist Church was established and a church was built in Ableman which is now Rock Springs. The church was later served by North Freedom Baptist Church. There are current burials in this cemetery.

I transcribed this cemetery on Jun 02, 2002 from my own readings, taken when I visited the cemetery, then comparing this transcription with earlier work done by the WSOCS. A thank you to members of the Wisconsin State Old Cemetery Society for providing this information of their work completed in the 1980's.
