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.

NEARER MY
GOD TO THEE
DEATH, THOU ART BUT
ANOTHER BIRTH,
FREEING THE SPIRIT
FROM THE CLOGS OF

CHANGE THE CROSS INTO THE CROWN.

A VANISHED HAND,
AND THE SOUND OF A
VOICE THAT IS STILL.
ASLEEP IN JESUS, BLESSED
SLEEP,
FROM WHICH NONE EVER
WAKE TO WEEP.
