This cemetery was also named as Schimmel Cemetery. From the History of Dewey twp, LaPorte County, we take the following phrase: "The township is settled chiefly by Germans, George P. Schimmel is probably the first one who made a settlement. He arrived on the first day of January, 1854, though Jacob Schauer came about the same time, and possible was foremost."
Disclaimer: This cemetery is an older reading from the Cemetery Records of LaPorte Co., Indiana Volume 4. D.A.R. Ind. Miriam Benedict Chapter. LaPorte, 1978. This cemetery will be read at a later date and corrections will be made after confirmations of dates and inscriptions are viewed. Notes added under "Additional Comments" column contain both personal notes added by transcriber at cemetery site and some tombstone readings.
