"They had come first to Osceola, Wisconsin from Sweden in 1857 but left for safer territory... The Edblad cabin was the only home in the wilderness for miles around. As other immigrants arrived, they found lodging in this home while looking for homestead property in the area.
The son of a Lutheran pastor, Isaac invited people from miles around to services he led in his home. Before long the house became too small to accomodate the group so he build a lean-to on the cabin. It was here in 1864 that the Cambridge Lutheran Church was organized."
