Boyd, MN was built in the summer of 1889 by a group of German settlers. It was organized by Pastor Vetter, who served as our first Pastor. In 1926 a new church was built using some materials from the former church. It was enlarged in 1957. The following were the signers of the first constitution: Frederick Rabe Frederick Eckhardt, Sr. Gottlieb Kelm Julius Loose, Sr. Gottlieb Koepp Jacob Lehmann Julius Koepp Jacob Nagel Edward Bohn Christian Laechelt August Bohn William Laechelt, Sr. Julius Arndt Ferdinand Ziemann Frederick Kienast Henry Rogge, Sr. Julius Albrecht Richard Hillig Note: I walked this cemetery in the summer of 2000. I have not consulted the cemetery records for comparison. I have tried to be as accurate as humanly possible, however, if you find what you feel is an error, please contact me to make corrections. This file is sorted by surname only. Notes that you see in parentheses are mine, the other comments were taken from the markers. Some of the markers were very hard to read due to age and wear. My hope is that you will find your ancestors here and seek further information. Good Luck! LaNaye Hennen Name DOB DOD Inscriptions/Comments BEHRENDS, Minnie B. 1882 1902 R.I.P.
