The Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Bethany Church was organized in 1884. In 1886, John and Bessie Hobert donated three acres of land in Section 35 of Lake Sarah Township for a church and a cemetery. The cemetery was at times refereed to as the Lake Sarah Swedish Cemetery or the Lake Sarah Township Cemetery.
The first church was not completed when it was destroyed by a tornado on September 15, 1886. The congregations built another church the following year. On April 20, 1914, lighting struck that church and it was destroyed by fire.
Four months after the fire, on August 28, 1914, the corner stone was laid for another church. In 1951, Modum Lutheran and Bethany Lutheran churches merged to form Lake Sarah Lutheran Church of Garvin.
Bethany Lutheran Church was sold and torn down in 1959.
The oldest know setter in Murray County, James Drew, is buried in Bethany Lutheran Cemetery. Mr. Drew was born in 1791 and fought in the War of 1812 and died at the age of 95.
