Ludwig Lehmann Family Cemetery

Ludwig and Carolyn (Zeye) Lehmann sailed from Hamburg, Germany for Galveston in 1849 with their four sons and Ludwig's mother, Maria Theresa. The three-month trip was arduous; Maria Theresa died en route and was given a burial at sea. The Lehmanns bought land to farm here, and donated 11 acres for the Ebenezer Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Berlin community. Carolyn (d. 1853) and Ludwig (d. 1855) were the first two family members interred here. Their eldest son Louis took over the family estate, and later served in the Confederate States army. Louis' wife Friederike (Clausmeier) died in 1875, and Louis wrote family in Germany to order grave markers for his wife and parents, and a memorial plaque for his grandmother.
