Comments: The land was originally owned by Tobias and Heinrich Schmidt.
This small cemetery is located on a trail and is enclosed by a barbwire
fence. Most of the deceased are children who died during the diphtheria
epidemic in 1899 and 1900. The Boeses children were grandchildren of Tobias
and Justina Schmidt.
