ZEELAND, N.D.St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church* (Sankt Andreas Gemeinde) and Cemetery FactsSt. Andrew’s is located in McIntosh County, North Dakota, and was built in 1893 by 15 families who used construction and architecture methods from Russia. The walls were constructed with 24-inch sandstone blocks held together with clay, straw and water mortar. The cemetery has a burial pattern similar to what was done in Russia: no family or burial plots. Adults and those confirmed were buried on the south side of the cemetery in order of their death. Infants and children (not confirmed) were buried on the north side of the cemetery in order of their death.

Carol Just, presenterJust,St.LouisPark,Minn.,isanativeofruralBerlininLaMoureCounty, N.D. Her roots run deep in McIntosh County, N.D., where all her great-grandparents and seven great-great grandparents homesteaded after emigrating from South Russia in the 1880s. St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church has been her family’s spiritual anchor since 1893 when her ancestors chartered the church as “Andreas Gemeinde.” The church became a “Beacon on the Prairie” for the settlers – eventually sponsoring four other parishes in the region.
