Musecamp/Muesekamp lots

This stop is the last resting place of more members of the Musecamp family. The largest headstone of Johanna is very unique to the cemetery and stands out as different from many of the other headstones from the 1800’s. This features a large willow tree, which is a symbol meant to represent everlasting life. Notice the date of death is several years before the cemetery was established? Her husband, who is right next to her, passed in the 1870’s. It was more common for spouses to be moved to another cemetery if the family desired the two to be together, especially if the other cemetery was further away.
