Lutheran Cemetery The family of Benjamin Bosse erected a memorial to his memory on the site where he is buried. The obelisk sits in the middle of the plots that he reserved for the Bosse family. It is simply inscribed with the family name of Bosse. In 1924, a nephew of Benjamin was tragically killed. To honor his memory, his father paid off the loan the church had on the sextons’ house and erected a plaque in his honor. Thirty years later, as society was changing, the association stopped using a sexton and sold the property. The plaque went missing. Some 60 years after that, a church member was jogging while vacationing in Destin, FL and noticed a plaque laying in a yard. To his amazement, he saw that the inscription mentioned Trinity Lutheran Church of Evansville and the Lutheran Cemetery. The owner of the plaque had purchased it many years prior at an antique shop and kept it even as he moved residences seven times! The rededication ceremony not only saw the plaque returned after almost 97 years, but also paid homage to the Bosse family’s influence and impact on the Evansville community. The Lutheran Cemetery is relatively small by some standards but boasts a rich historical part of Evansville and is justly proud of its residents.
