I am not finding any information on Heinrich Haxmeier.

This three-foot zinc building-looking structure is located towards the middle of the St. Donatus Catholic Church Cemetery. The headstone has the family name - Hexmeier - on the front and reverse near the base. The headstone is set on a concrete base. The zinc marker has a rough-cut looking base all-around. The family name then appears on the next level. The text and picture panels are next and will be described in greater detail later. There is a transition that almost reminds one of a building with a single arched clamshell "window" on each side. The top is a highly detailed crucifix.

The front text reads:
