    3. Thanks to Michele, there are photos and transcriptions of tombstones for over 200 graves in the Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery. When the church was founded, it had a Watertown mailing address, but when that post office was closed, it became rural Amherst. I mention both names because sometimes in familiy records you may find the name of one or the other towns. The church, located in Scott Twp., was founded in 1882 by German settlers, and the graves date from about that time to the present. It is still an active cemetery though the church is no longer in existence. When the rural population declined in the 1970's and '80's, they merged with Trinity Lutheran, a daughter congregation, in the town of Amherst. The records are kept at the Amherst location. Michele has a number of ancestors buried at Immanuel, and her work of photographing and transcribing the tombstones is a wonderful help to all of the rest of us who have relatives buried there. The Immanuel cemetery page also includes the surnames and maiden names of all the known graves there as of about 1986. So if you find a name in that list that you want more information about, please contact me at the address in my signature line, and I'll be happy to do a look-up for you.
