"The Baptist Church provided the land across the street from the
Baptist Church for the cemetery in 1889. In the upper section of the
cemetery, close to the road, is where the Baptist Church members are
buried, and in the lower section of the cemetery, the people of the
Evangelical Church or Germans are buried."
