Historical Marker Text:
The congregation of St. John Lutheran Church had been meeting in its new sanctuary for some four years when the death of one of its members, Anna Charlotte Lillie (Kowierschke) Bauer (1905-1930), led to the purchase of this half acre for use as the church cemetery. Her in-laws, J.W. Bauer (1874-1932) and Bertha (Flint) Bauer (1872-1956), are buried nearby in the same plot. The older grave of Christian Schneider (1838-1920) was moved here from an endangered location near the Llano River. Church members and family descendants care for this site that is a record of the lives of many of the Castell area's beloved citizens.
