Marker Text: ​In 1890, Phillipsburg residents formed the St. Paul Lutheran church. Later that year, Henry Stern deeded eight acres of land for a church and school and one acre for a cemetery. The first burial is that of the infant son of Mr. And Mrs. Carl Engeling in 1890. The exact date and location of this burial are unknown. The first recorded burial is that of Rudolph Friederick August Scharff on June 27, 1891. Many veterans are buried at this rural cemetery and date to World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. This historic cemetery serves as a reminder of the struggles endured by pioneer families and early settlers of Austin County. (2009)
