Marker Text: ​The congregation of the Trinity Lutheran Church formally organized in 1902. Members donated funds to buy three acres of land from Christian Lindig (1864-1948) on which they erected a small sanctuary. By 1904, a larger building was needed. Plans for a cemetery as part of the church grounds were also completed in May of that year with the purchase of an additional two and one-half acres. The first burial, however, had already taken place on February 23, 1904, with the passing of Bertha Behrens Arhelger (1870-1904). Chronicled here are the heritage of the Stonewall area. (2002)
