Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery (Boeckhaus), California, MO
Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery, also know as the Boeckhaus Cemetery, is located just southwest of California, Missouri. Created in February 1912 on land deeded to the Immanuel Cemetery Association by three single men of the Boeckhaus family, the tract initially measured 156 feet by 134 feet. There are currently 60 graves along with several open spaces and a number of the occupants were charter members of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. In fact, many of their descendants are members at St. Paul’s in the present day.
Eventually Immanuel Cemetery Association, a Missouri Corporation, met with our Board of Trustees to explore options for future care of this cemetery. With approval from voting members of the congregation, a special meeting was held August 30, 2009 to formally turn over operation of the cemetery to St. Paul’s Lutheran Church.
To reach Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery from West Buchanan Street (Business 50 Highway), turn south on Gerhart Road and travel approximately one mile (.8 mile). The cemetery can be found on the east side of the road behind a white fence.
