description: Eleven members attended the branch near Cross Plains. It was a hilly area on the Military Road from Madison to the Mississippi. David Rasey settled in Blue Mounds. He was baptized at Springdale in June 1851. He was ordained an apostle in 1853. He served until 1873. <br/> At a branch of the Suger Creek was the Mormon baptismal pond. <br/> This is just north of Springdale township. “in the early history of the town several Mormons settled here, and the whole neighborhood for years were kept in a fevered excitement by the Sunday carnivals they often held. George P. Thompson, T. S. Lloyd and George Harlow were some of the leaders among them. George was a son of old Isaiah Harlow, whose grave is in the beautiful burying ground on the hill that is overshadowed with the grove of trees, on Jeremiah Murphy’s farm, section 31. There are several of this family buried here, as seen by the neat gray slabs or headstones that mark their last resting place. These graves are designated by some of the neighbors (but by mistake) as those of the Mormons. The only member of the family who became a Mormon was the son George, but who afterwards renounced and would have nothing to do with them.” History of Cross Plain. George and the family were all members of the church and later he served in the Sacramento branch of the RLDS in California<br/>?
