Text: Pastor Christoph Adam Sager established the St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church and Cemetery at this site in 1851. This is the first Lutheran congregation formed in Dewitt County and one of the oldest in Texas. The cemetery lies on the original acre donated by Christoph and Johanna Thieme and extends onto land acquired in 1880. There are many unmarked graves; the earliest, as documented by church records, is that of Amalia Eckert who died in 1854. The descendants of these German immigrants maintain this burial ground, a chronicle of the settlers of the Meyersville area of Dewitt County.
