Read More	The Plaque in the EUB Church Cemetery reads: Property for this Cemetery was from Mr. Henry Volle, ca. 1847. It was located behind the parsonage, one fourth mile east of Church Road (CR 58.) Interments were made in rows and all had the same kind of wooden markers. The number of graves of the original settlers are reported to be seventy-five, in rows of twenty five each. This Cemetery was used from 1847 to 1854 before it was abandoned. Families known to have been buried here were: Sanders, Viehe, Meyer, and Bubenzer. From the "Schroeder and Sander Family Histories, by Clara Schroeder Masteller:" "At the time the church was organized, a plot of ground was purchased from Mr. Volle, for the cemetery. This ground is in back of the parsonage. At first all were buried in rows and all had the same kind of wooden markers. The new part of the cemetery ids divided into family lots. Excerpt from a letter of Nov 14, 1948 by Clara (Kirchhoff) Sager after a trip to the original cemetery, not the one mentioned above: "I thoroughly enjoyed getting out with your mother and Henry's father to visit the gravesites...Anton Sander's grave is on the Fred Krueger place, close by our church. As for location, it is about one quarter mile east of Road 58 - we used to call it Church Lane. It is due north of the Fred Krueger home about one fifth mile. Fred Krueger says and also Henry's father, that at that time, which was before our church was organized, the settlers here met in homes, and especially often in the home of Fred Silger who then lived in the Fred Snyder home place at the foot of Church Lane. This is why the cemetery site was chosen, and then, when in 1847 they organized, Henry Volle gave an acre of land for a permanent cemetery where it now is, also sold land for the church to be built on, and so the old place was discontinued. You remember the old cheese factory? Well it is due east of that place. There is still a wooded (1948) spot and the 75 graves are placed in rows of about 25 which makes a square, and Fred Krueger had marked it by sunken places, still there, but most them filled since his boyhood. When he was a boy, he said, he could plainly tell the rows. Then too, there were four large trees marking the four corners and could be easily marked for future generations...Yes, it is on a hill, the ravine being directly across from the graves."
