The First German Reformed Church, with its cemetery, was organized in 1837 composed largely of immigrants from Switzerland who settled in this rich farm country near what is now Sugarcreek, Ohio, a center of Amish settlements.

The church building was erected in 1866, and the cemetery has been nicely maintained. There are perhaps as many as 700-800 interments here. There is a war memorial commemorating veterans from the Civil War, so of whom are buried here, up through World War II.
