Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery
This cemetery was established in 1913 on land given by the American Rio Grande land and the irrigation Company to Immanuel Lutheran Church. The cemetery has served Lutherans throughout the Rio Grande Valley. The oldest grave is that of Wilhelm Schumacher , who died in 191, and was re interred here from his family farm when the cemetery was established. Gravestones bear the names of many German, Norwegian, Finnish, and Russian settlers who immigrated to this area from the W S Midwest , as well as Hispanic names.
