Cemetery History

This is an old family cemetery. The headstones were still standing up but in prairie grass two feet high as well as in the cemetery. The cemetery contains members of the Heuser family who farmed here in the latter part of the 19th century. The headstone of Ludwig Mueller is standing outside the fenced in area.
