DATE:

1802, date of oldest inscription.

OWNERS:

The present owner is K. A. Strole. (1936)

DESCRIPTION:

It is a privately owned burying ground in very good condition.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

Here we find a very old graveyard.  The older graves, we presume, are of people 
that came from Germany, from the inscriptions on some of the stones.  We find 
that all names change from time to time, as the Mullers were changed to Millers, 
so we find in this old graveyard the name of Hofminnen, which we presume from 
the name is now Hoffman.  We also find one old stone that is very poorly carved.  
There are several old graves that have no inscriptions on them, and only 
limestone rocks for markers.  This graveyard is still being used by some of the 
Foltzs and Kites.
