Add PhotosThe cemetery has been a burial ground since the mid 1800s. In November 1845, Nicholas Lichti, an early settler to the area, granted approximately a quarter of an acre of his farm for a school building and burial ground. It is believed that a log schoolhouse and a family burial ground had already been established at the site prior to the land transfer. The schoolhouse has long been demolished, but the current church building beside the cemetery was erected in 1886 and rebuilt in 1953.
The oldest existing gravestones date from the 1850s. Some of the inscriptions on older stones are in German, reflecting the language spoken by early generations of Amish Mennonites in the area.
