Mellowdale
The first church in Mellowdale was a Methodist log church built in 1909 and located on the W.T. Harris homestead SW27-60-R3-W5. A small piece of land was donated by Mr. Harris for the church and cemetery. The church no longer stands but the cemetery is still in use today.
In 1975 they received a grant to restore the cemetery and many hours of hard work was put into this project. A cairn with 83 names of people in the records from 1917 to 1971 was erected. The inscription on the cairn reads: "This memorial was erected to commemorate the memory of our pioneers." A new gate sign with the name "Mellowdale Community Cemetery" was also erected.
The early burials, according to the burial records, were mostly located near the centre of the north boundary. Many of these are not marked and so that area is being left and new burials are being placed elsewhere. A couple burials along the NE fence were moved from the Naples cemetery
Christ Lutheran Church Mellowdale was built in 1912. It still stands today, "the Church on the Hill" It is located right beside the highway to Neerlandia and has a large cemetery behind the church.
This information was taken from the local history book "Mellowdale Memories" written in 1981.
