TIMELINE
Michel "Michael" Scheidel and Margaretha "Margaret" (Heil) Scheidel are buried in Rohlf Cemetery, Town of Eden, Fond du Lac Co., WI. The two pictures on the left are of the marker in the ground, and the two on the right are after removal for full view and restoration. Thanks to Find-A-Grave for making these pictures available.
The Rohlf Cemetery (sometimes called Welton Cemetery) description below is from researchers in 1975. Leigh Larson visited the cemetery on June 20, 2003 and can confirm that the appearance has not improved over the years. A neighbor said for a few years a local 4-H group maintained the grounds, but that ended some time ago. Essentially this is a small overgrown woodlot with many overturned, broken or sunken gravestones.
ROHLF CEMETERY. Town of Eden, Fond du Lac County; Section 31. Location: This cemetery is located on Co. Hwy Y, one mile east of Co. K. The cemetery is on the north side of the Hwy. where Co. Y turns a sharp right and a Country road forks left. It is on a small hill and cannot be recognized as a cemetery until you climb the road embankment, and see the stones. It is extremely overgrown and neglected. The stones are scattered throughout the cemetery. History: On April 8, 1853 Alfred Bliss and wife Harriet R. sold to Quimby Hayes, Elias Wilbur and Zopher B. Hays, one acre of section 31 for $1.00, this is the SE corner of Sec. 31.
