Additional Information: | According to church history, the St. Mary's cemetery was founded at the same time the church was established, 1858. The cemetery is located behind the church building. It was not formally landscaped, but is punctuated with mature trees and shrubs. The cemetery, as part of this complex, adds to the history of the church and congregation because of its long association with the German families that founded it. |
