Once a large school was next to the church here, but only a gravel parking area is where the school once stood.

Cemetery was started when this church, then St. Josephs Catholic Church, was built, 1913. Now the church is called Church of the Risen Savior and is affiliated with the Shrine at Starkenburg.

Requiescant in pace. German names predominate on the tombstones of the church cemetery, located on the steep hillside above the church. We see below the flat floodplain of the Missouri River; two to three miles away are the bluffs on the south side of the river, near the town of Hermann. The Rhineland bluffs are about 400 feet tall, are made of dolomite, and extend for about six miles between this town and Bluffton.

Name of church or churchyard: St. Joseph Cemetery
