Shortly thereafter on Aug. 13,1885, Andreas Schaeffer was also buried. The first grave sites cost $2.50 plus $1.00 per year for care of the grave. Today a grave, including perpetual care, amounts to S50.00. This price was started on Dec. 12,1967. As room was needed the first step was to move the pasture fence east, thereby providing extra ground. Then in 1967 land was traded with Bruno Peters with the idea of provid- ing a driveway around the cemetery.
