Susan, people from all religious backgrounds used Wanderers Rest years ago. A good share of them,though, were members of the northside Lutheran Churches. A member of the church that I served as Assistant at after I had to leave the full-time ministry of the church was a the man in charge of the sales at the cemetery. One of the nicest men I ever met. I don't think anyone was more hurt than he was when the two "crooks" came in and tore down all that he and others had built up. Too bad but he passed away a few years back. He feels sorry for all of the friends and people that he sold burial plots too that were let down for it truly is a beautiful, tree-filled cemetry, when taken care of. At one time after the "crooks" left, people could not even find graves for there was no money to even cut the grass or pick up fallen limbs that were on top of headstones and monuments. When the grass was higher than knees of the tallest men, the other cemeteries on the north side of Milwaukee got together to help out these owners. They sent their grounds crews over to Wanderer's Rest and did the limb removing and the grass cutting. To get back to your questions: I know many people from Lutheran Church purchased lots there as said but know that there are many from Methodist Churches, Presbyterian Churches and United Church of Christ members. I served three Lutheran Churches on the northside of Milwaukee (Lutheran Church of the Reformation, Pentecost Lutheran and Resurrection Lutheran) and had many members from all three that were either buried at the cemetery or were owners of lots there.
