This cemetery is on Raymond St. ¼ mile east of Fort Road.  It has a fence around it and one lone pine tree in the center.  The stones are all in German and stacked against a tree. Halloween boys carried some of the stones away a few years ago.

 

Mrs. Fred Teutenberg lives nearby, and is a descendant of the Piel family.  She said there were four adults buried there.
