Marker Text: The first burial in this graveyard, that of Wilhelm Wolf, took place in 1891, two years after the German Evangelic Lutheran congregation was formally organized. Rev. H.F. Daude (1850-1924), who served as first pastor, deeded land here in 1893 for the church, school, and cemetery. members of the congregation, now known as Immanuel Lutheran, continue to use the graveyard, although the church relocated to another site early 1940s. The German language appears on many of the tombstones reflecting a part of the area's German heritage. (1986)
