REARDAN CEMETERY AND OBITUARIES
REARDAN CEMETERY AND OBITUARIES
Submitted by Sandra Brommer
A through B
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reardan Cemetery is located at the Southeast edge of Reardan in the NW1/4 of SE1/4 of Sec. 15 Twp 25N Range 39EWM. Also known as the Reardan IOOF Cemetery, it was dedicated in September of 1894. In the 1911 Atlas it is on page 121 and the 1960 Atlas it is listed on page 69. I grew up in Reardan & my dad had the cemetery records. I have added names, obits, and other information of the people buried there. I included all the burials, and then included the obits that I have. There are 3 burials which were not in the cemetery records (Byrd, Dittmar, and Brandenberg) but according to death records, etc, they are buried at the Reardan Cemetery. All 3 died before the big Reardan fire, so I was thinking maybe some of the cemetery records were lost in the fire.

Louisa Maria Bergeron was the last surviving child of Henry and Gesina Brommer.
The first two children, John and Herman, were born in Germany. Louisa, and later
Peter, were born at Reardan at the farm before Reardan was officially
incorporated in 1903. Born on May 18, 1900, Louisa was born a premature baby. A
Monarch stove oven was her incubator and a shoebox her Isolette. The doctor told
her mother that Louisa would not live long. Confounding the predictions, Louisa
lived to the venerable age of 92 years and 28 days and died on June 15, 1992.
Louisa was baptized on July 8, 1900, and confirmed on June 7, 1914, in the
Emmanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church at Reardan. After completing both primary
and secondary education in Reardan, Louisa worked at Raymer's Hardware and then
in the Reardan Post Office where she met Albert Bergeron whom she married on May
15, 1929. After marriage the couple departed for Nome, Alaska, where they lived
for three years. Albert prospected and engaged in the fur trade while Louisa
worked in a local restaurant until the birth of Harvey and Clifford kept her
fully occupied at home. Returning to Reardan, the couple purchased and leased
farm land (the final purchase being completed in 1961) and farmed for 28 years
until retiring to the old Brommer home in 1961. Louisa was a good homemaker
known for baking excellent bread rolls for many community events. She loved to
quilt have gone far and wide to serve the needy through Lutheran World Relief.
Louisa often went fishing with her husband and on one occasion caught the
biggest fish of the season at Balfour, Canada. Louisa was preceded in death by
her husband, Albert, who died on April 5, 1976, and by her oldest son, Harvey,
who died in 1979. Left to mourn the death of Louisa are: four children: Clifford
of Reardan; Jimmie of Houston, Texas; Mary of Seattle; and Marlene of Lake
George, New York. Fifteen grandchildren: Cathy, Linda and Robert - children of
Harvey; Greg, Jeff, Kristine and Melissa - children of Clifford; James and
Michelle - children of Jimmie; Steve, Michael, Catherine Mary and Jimmy -
children of Mary; and Mark and Shelley - children of Marlene. Ten great
grandchildren: three born to Cathy and two to Linda, two to Steve, two to
Catherine, and one to Shelley; and many other friends and relatives. Louisa
expressed her Christian faith in a beautiful and simple way throughout her life
and graced the Emmanuel congregation with her presence this last Sunday, June
14th. May our good Lord bless her memory to all who mourn her. [Funeral Program]

A Celebration of Life Memorial for Cindy Burge, well known equestrian competitor
and coach, will be held Wednesday, August 4th at 4 p.m. at Deep Creek Farm. It
will be preceded by a private burial service at the Reardan Cemetery. Cindy,
born October 8, 1963 in Ellensburg, died July 28th in Missoula from injuries
sustained during competition in the Kalispel area. Renowned for her skill and
toughness as a competitor in the horse sport called Eventing she was beloved
across the nation for her kindness, humor and unwavering sportsmanship. A
graduate of Eastern Washington University anticipating a career as an English
teacher, she instead followed her childhood passion to become one of the
nation's top equestrian coaches as well as a prominent competitor on the East
Coast as well as in the West. At the time of her death she was training her new
horse imported from England for national and hopefully, international
competition. She had traveled extensively abroad searching for promising horses
for American competitors. The daughter of businessman/horse authority, Ed Burge,
and note educator Sally Burge, Cindy developed at their horse farm a Competition
Center second to none in the Pacific Northwest, where in June she hosted over
300 American and Canadian competitors at the 23rd Annual Deep Creek Horse
Trials. Its success reflected Cindy's work as its organizer & her dedicated
leadership in the Eventing world. The United States Eventing Association awarded
her its credentials as one of eight advanced teachers in the nation and she had
served on the USEA Rules Committee for two years. As a junior she was a
four-time member of the team representing the Pacific Northwest at the
International Young Riders Championships winning the individual Silver Medal in
1982 and was the team's 2004 coach for the upcoming championships. A graduate of
Cheney High School where she was Student Body President, she nurtured the
children of this region as a coach in the Pony Clubs program hosting their camps
at the family farm. She also served the 4-H program as judge. Cindy is survived
by her husband, Jerry Ackerman; her parents; her sister, Debbie Dillon of
Lakeside, MT; her brother, Curt Burge of Spokane; two nieces, Georgia Dillon and
Katy Burge and two nephews, Dwight Dillon and Jace Burge and aunts and uncles.
The family has designated a Memorial Fund at Wheatland Bank to provide training
for an outstanding novice rider who serves Eventing behind the scenes. Memorials
can also be made to the Deep Creek Horse Trials.
