The St. John Cemetery is located a short distance northeast from Concordia, Missouri in east central Lafayette County, MO. Like the larger St. Paul's Lutheran Cemetery in Concordia, Missouri, this cemetery also has the gravesites of a number of victims of Guerilla activity during the Civil War.

*A plaque at the cemetery marks a series of Civil War tragedies which took place in Concordia. The plaque reads as follows:*

*CIVIL WAR CASUALTIES*

*Buried in this vicinity of St. John Cemetery are eight victims of bushwhacker activity during the Civil War. Killed on August 23, 1864, was Christian Heinrich Ehlers.
