MAP OF OLD GERMAN CEMETERY by Fred Snell Follow this link to download a pdf copy of a map of the Old German Protestant Cemetery on Bremen Road. This map was in the possession of Lucille Walker and she gave it to someone to get copies made for our membership, but it got lost over the years. I happened to photograph it at one of our meetings several years ago and now, with the help of Photoshop, I have been able to merge and clean up the three photos into one document.

Please note that this map shows lot owners only and many other people may be buried on each lot. For example lot 8 is listed as Ephram White. On that lot is Ephram and his wife, Bertha, but also her parents, Gorham and Elizabeth (Creamer) Achorn. This is a large file, please be patient while it loads.
