This large zinc headstone almost resembles a small house in its detail, bearing twin name plates on the front for Melchoir Leuthold and his wife Elizabeth, with the corresponding plates on the reverse of U.S. cavalrymen, one riding a horse and one standing with a rifle. A side name plate bears the name of their son, Arthur Leuthold who served in Co. G. Crossed swords appear above his name
The entire zinc structure is mounted on a concrete stand.

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.
