HOLY HILL CEMETERY
Location: T36N R9W. WN 26:2:107The Rusk County Atlas printed in 1914 shows a church and cemetery in T36N R9W. However, when we inquired about it of a farmer, George Schultz, he directed us to the former site of Holy Hill Catholic Church, where, in the former churchyard, a lone white wooden cross stands.
This is the grave of a migrant logger who came from Cleveland to work in a mill at Birchwood, Sawyer County., Wisconsin. He was killed in an accident at the mill. His foreman was Emil Schultz, father of George. Emil made the white cross that marks the grave in totally wild woods that could never be found by a stranger to the area.
The following data was given us by George Schultz:
We then were told that there had been four burials made in the former cemetery that bears no markers. Mr. Schultz directed us to the John Gargulak home to learn who the burials were. We were given the following names and approximate dates:
- KLIMENT, Joseph - killed 1916
St. John's Catholic Church, Birchwood, Wisconsin has the death and burial records.
- GARGULAC, Aldrich - brother of John, shot at age 16, born 1897
GARGULAC, Hilda - sister of John, dc 1920, about 15 years
GARGULAC, Mary (Zetik) - mother of John, dc 1918, about 42 years
GILEK - infant of Charles GILEK
The community is known as Pre Bram in Wilson Township, Rusk County, Wisconsin, and was settled by a group of people from Czechoslovakia, who came and bought the land (1912) cleared by the loggers of the Knap-Stout Logging Company.

The Township of Strickland was organized in 1897, but the Strickland settlement traces its origin back to the 1880's.
Settlers of Polish origin came to Strickland and neighboring Weyerhaeuser from Europe and from the coal fields of Pennsylvania. Settlers at Strickland erected the Assumption B.V.M. Catholic Church, which is still being used. It never was an incorporated village, and the only real industry remaining is raising cranberries.
