Guttenberg Press, Garnavillo section, June 22, 1939 Attempts are being made by the town council to obtain information about the old cemetery west of St. Paul's church, so that a new Plat may be made and the grounds leveled. The original plat which must have been made soon after the town was settled has been destroyed or lost, and no definite information can be had as to whom is buried in the cemetery. Many of the tombstones were loose and fell over or were removed. The land is owned by the town and those who wished to be buried there had only to gain permission. |

*Notes
Frederick Benjegerdes (given name Johann Frederick) was born 14 Apr 1823. However, with the date of birth and death it doesn't come out to be 48 years, 5 months and 23 days. I have the birth date from the church records in Garnavillo so don't know why it isn't correct. He is my great, grandfather who married Henrietta Charlotte Wilhelmina Meier (her 2nd marriage). Their son is Johan D. (Diedrich) Benjegerdes for which date of birth and death agree with the age of 18 years, 1 month and 25 days. ~from Grace (Benjegerdes) Keir, November 2010
Johann Gerhardt Schulte b. April 6, 1819 and d. July 22, 1861 aged 42 years, 3 months and 16 days was the first husband of Henrietta Charlotte Wilhelmina Meier. She had 5 children by J. Gerhardt who were half siblings of my grandfather, Fred W. Benjegerdes of Postville. ~from Grace (Benjegerdes) Keir, November 2010, Grace's email address can be found in the surname registry for Benjegerdes
Jacob Bitter / Bitters - His name appears on the Consolidated List of persons subject to do military duty, residence Garnavillo, June 1862 or 1863 (date difficult to read), he was a single man, a laborer, b. Germany. The records of Co. D, 27th Iowa Volunteer Infantry indicate that Jacob Bitter was rejected in Oct 1862 due to having consumption. In August 1863 he enlisted in the 8th Iowa Cavalry from Elkader. National Archives records indicate his gravestone was erected in 1886 in the Garnavillo cemetery. The order for the headstone reads Pvt. Co B, Regt 6th Iowa Cav. The "Roster & Record" gives service in Co. I, 8th IA Cav. Also ...an article in the Garnavillo news column of the Elkader Weekly Register, 6/3/1886, states that his grave was decorated at the Memorial Day ceremonies & indicates his service was in the Missouri Cavalry. Researchers should resolve his service to their satisfaction.
Wahls - John F., Mary & Louis - Garnavillo Sentinel, Wed., June 6, 1894: "Wm. Schumacher placed an iron fence around the graves of the Wahls family on the old cemetery."~*~*~
