In 1878 a chapel was built following a contribution by the family of John Catlin. During and following the Civil War, the Soldiers Lot and Confederate Lot were created and in 1865 a well was dug near the plot of Governor Harvey and a windmill was erected over it. In the 1860s a receiving vault was built on site. They in turn developed that property into a Catholic cemetery, now known as Resurrection Cemetery. In 1863 the city sold a portion of land from the original purchase to the Roman Catholic Societies for $170. Sweet was a territorial council member from Milwaukee who led the fight that made Madison the territorial capitol of Wisconsin. The Wrights had obtained the land from land speculator James Duane Doty, who had obtained it from Alanson Sweet. The committee members chose the current site, then on the far west side of the city and subsequently bought the original 80 acres (320,000 m 2) of land for $10,000 from John and Mary Wright. In the mid-1850s, a committee was formed to search for another appropriate site in the area to form an official Madison cemetery. In the following years other areas within the area were established as informal burying grounds and the first official village cemetery was established in 1847 near what is now Orton Park. After the first permanent European-American settlers arrived in Madison in the 1830s, the first non-native burials occurred on the current University of Wisconsin–Madison campus, near Bascom Hill.
