Elida Trinity Lutheran Cemetery Records
GRAVESTONE INSCRIPTIONS FROM THE ELIDA CEMETERY
Located on Route 309 in Elida, Ohio at the rear of Trinity Lutheran Church.
Copied March 20, 1938 by Ferne Longsworth and Mary L. Breese for files of the Allen County Historical Society, (family descendants added more information) and Elida Trinity Lutheran Church Cemetery List.
In 1976, the cemetery stones were removed and lot is used for Child Day Center. Compiled from both lists by Velva Bruce on February 23, 2001.
The Memorial Plaque located inside the First Trinity Lutheran Church is inscribed as follows:
Trinity Lutheran Church Memorial
“The Educational Building of Trinity Lutheran Church, erected on the site of the cemetery, serves as a living memorial to those now departed in the Lord and this plaque commemorates the deceased, members of the Trinity Lutheran Church and the Elida community.”
Rev. Abraham Doner, Founder of the First Lutheran Church in Allen County.
This plaque is on display inside the church. A Memorial Stone honoring Abraham Doner was erected on the cemetery site, founder of the 1st Lutheran Church in Allen County.
