Sorum Cemetery
Section 17, Badger Township, Polk County, Minnesota

Sorum Church closed on January 3, 1912
This cemetery is sometimes referred to as the Wold Cemetery in old obituaries. Sorum Synod Congregation was organized in 1885 by O.T. Wold, Ole Dovery, P.N. Sevelrud and Hans O. Lee who served as trustees. This congregation held their meetings in the schoolhouse in Sec. 8. In 1909 most of the families moved to Canada and the congregation was left with only four families. These four were Henry Anderson, Ole Dovery, O.T. Wold and Hans O. Lee. The church closed in January of 1912.
