Schoenfeld Lutheran Cemetery
The cemetery reserve sits at the corner of adjacent Shoenfeldt Farm complex. It contains early graves with mostly slate headstones. The majority of headstone inscriptions are in German. Many graves are unmarked. The visible graves date from the 1860s onwards.
Originally there was a church and school at Schoenfeld. However the congregation moved to Daveyston to worship and the cemetery is all that remains.
The original land was taken up by Johann Andreas Flügge. The title transferred to Flügge. Gottfried Heinrich and Johann Mangelsdorf, all local farmers, in 1864, presumably as Trustees or Church Officers. Some of the Trustees changed in 1873. After the death of the last Trustee, Friedrich Havelberg, in 1922, the property was transferred to the District Council of Freeling in 1927. The last burial took place in 1954.

Make sure you take some time to wander around the remaining headstones and read the names of some of the early pioneers of this district.
