Immaculate Conception Mission Church Cemetery 
 "Stepstone"

Picture, directions and much of the data contributed by Sherida Dougherty, transcribed by Bonnie Snow.

The Cemetery is located on the hill behind the Church.  Many of the original parishioners are buried there.  Although some of the early graves lie unmarked today, surnames of families buried there include Emminger, Dittelburger, Steimer, Faulhaber, Laux, Radenheimer, Eschmann, Nordheim, Fleckenstein, Borgerding, Reuk, Rust, Cook, and Schmitt.  Like the Church, the Cemetery is well maintained by a local family and pink Magic Lilies, planted many years ago, dot the hillside.  Burials there are now limited.  The last time a grave was dug, it was necessary to use dynamite due to the massive rocks below the surface. 

Directions:  From the AA Highway, turn onto Route 154 towards Peach Grove.  The road to the Church is the first right on Route 154.  The road is not marked but the Church is less than one mile after the turn.

 From Route 27 or Route 10, turn onto Route 154 and follow until almost to the AA Highway.  Turn left at the last road to the left.  The road is not marked but the Church is less than one mile after the turn.
