In 1981 a marker was raised by the Sherman County Historical Society and the Pritschau family. This marker said, "On this burial site are two graves, infant twins of August and Anna Zeller, immigrants from Germany. These graves have been identified by two plots of iris planted about 1880 by their mother. Like an act of God, these plants have survived the elements all these years." Bud and Elsie Pritschau worked with the Sherman County Historical Society to preserve the graves, marked by small iris, of the infant Zeller twins. Bud first heard of the graves in 1938 when the Bristol Township was going to remove dirt for a road. The work was stopped because of the gravesite. About then, his father, F W Pritschau, bought the land. The land had been homesteaded by August and Anna Zeller and, at the time, was on the edge of the Sioux territory. Their house was approximately 100 yards from the grave. Family members knew of the twins' grave, but not the location. After F W Pritschau died in 1975, Bud and Elsie Pritschau took over the land. One Spring Bud was putting up fence on his father's land and came to a patch where small iris were blooming. Marie Diefenbaugh and her husband asked Bud if he had foung the graves. Bud told them about the iris patch and they all went to look at it. Marie was the granddaughter of Anna Zeller, and Anna used to take Marie to visit the graves when Marie was a child. She knew the graves had stopped the roadwork."
