Cemetery was Abandon in 1944
In 1907, William & Mary Schroder deeded one acre of their land east of Waverly to the Trustees of the German Evangelical Peace Congregation of Waverly, Iowa, to be used as a congregational cemetery. The deed was recorded as Warranty Deed Record No. 54, Bremer Co., on April 20, 1907, and the description as recorded was:
"The South 1 acre of the East Half (E 1/2) of the Northwest Quarter (NW 1/4) of the Southwest Quarter (SW 1/4) of Section 1, Township 91 North, Range 14 West of the 5th P.M."
A general description of this 1 acre of property is from the north lot line of St. Joseph's Catholic Cemetery, 132 feet north, and from the middle of the road known as 12th St. S. E., 330 feet east.
On April 12, 1944, the families were asked to move their relatives to Harlington Cemetery in Waverly because the Peace Evangelical Church had decided to rent this cemetery out for pasture to make money, which they did for 33 years.
On June 27, 1977, the one acre cemetery was sold to a private individual. The money received from the sale was used to purchase new hymnals for the church.
