Hope Lutheran Memorial Park
Anticipating the needs of its members, the
German Evangelisch Lutheran Hoffnung Church of
BUckholts purchased the original 1.5 acres for
this burial ground from Thomas and Eva Blinka in
1902. The graves of Josef Neuman (1902-1903)
and J. C. Richter (1831-1904) date the
cemetery's beginning use. In 1911, the deed for
the land and access road was formally recorded.
The Hope Lutheran Church congregation has added
acreage over the years and continued to make
improvements. Since 1962, as Association has
overseen the affairs and upkeep of this site
that chronicles much of the heritage of the
Buckholts community.
