A small crowd gathered Oct. 10 around a historic but easily missed cemetery in Universal City to enjoy the rededication of the tiny but relevant stretch of grass and trees bordered by a simple white picket fence. The occasion was the rededication of what is known as the Fischer-Schertz Cemetery, just off Pat Booker Road on West Aviation Street. Within the small cemetery plot rest a few graves of ancestors of some of Universal City's first settler families. The cemetery became a subject of concern to members of VFW Post 4676 in 2008, as they pondered how to bring it back to a more respectable condition, as time and neglect had weathered it badly. In March 2009, post members began action to renovate the site. The group donated more than 500 volunteer hours of labor toward the project and transformed the cemetery site to an attractive memorial setting, "more befitting the honored citizen settlers who rest there," a VFW press release states. The VFW and its auxiliary members worked to redesign the landscape to prevent the constant flooding problems that damaged the area. They also solicited donations from the Hurley Monument Company and received fencing materials from another local distributor. When asked, the project planners declined to identify themselves for personal recognition, saying that "their only interest is in assuring those buried in the cemetery have a quality resting place." The press release said the planners, "out of respect and honor for the Universal City descendants," undertook the project. Those buried in the cemetery include: Traugott Fischer, a German-born immigrant and early Universal City settler and landowner; Elizabeth Kreitz Fischer, second wife of Traugott Fischer; Walter Schertz, son of Wilhelm Gustov Johann Schertz and grandson of Joseph Franciscus Schertz, an original Universal City settler; Helena Seiler Schertz, wife of Adolph F. Schertz; and Mr. H Freiden, III, relationship unknown." When I orginally read this cemetery I made a major mistake. At that time I believed that a Mr. H. Freiden, III was buried in the cemetery. I now know that the inscription at the top of Traugott Fischer's headstone reads "Hier ruht in Freiden" translated means "here rests in peace. James Clair
