CEMETERY NOTE FROM RESIDENT EXPERT
This cemetery was formerly known as the Stoytown Lutheran Cemetery and has several Ringler's buried in it. There is an area of the cemetery towards the back where there are Ringler's buried back in the mid 1800's and many of the stones are unreadable, missing, etc. But, according to the veteran card, this is definitely the right cemetery.Hope this helps...Brian (RESIDENT EXPERT)
