A little rural cemetery, commanding a wide and beautiful prospect far down the valley and clothed with much local historic interest, is that at decadent Tuckertown, a few miles west of Loganville in the township of Washington, hard by Hill Point, just beyond the Westfield Township boundary in Sauk County, WI. This region was settled around 1860, and here rest many of the local pioneers of that period. It was something of an Adventist community in the beginning, but later, the graveyard became Lutheran, like nearly all the countryside up and down Narrows Prairie.The articles of organization were dated June 8, 1858, and was deeded as the Washington Union Cemetery on Nov. 24, 1862. In 1875, Adin Tucker sold land to the trustees of the United Brethren church, and a church was built a year later. The Tuckertown church was sold to St. Johns Lutheran Church of Hillpoint in 1889. The church was torn down around 1967. The Town of Washington now cares for the cemetery. No more burials are permitted, the last one being in 1945.
