East Iowa Church at Bertram
A historical account traces Bertram’s origins from 1838 settlers and a 1856 Methodist gathering to the 1857 plat, 1859 rail line completion, and early business founders. The first Bertram church, built on a hill, dates 1858 1866 with Union Sectarian ties, later replaced during the 1880s by a new structure built with lantern light.
