Historical marker for Blenheim Mennonite Cemetery, Block A, Wilmot Twp.

Close up view of dark green plaque. Plaque reads "Blenheim Mennonite Cemetery This 3 acre site including land for a cemetery was purchased in 1850 from Peter & Susannah Bomberger Erb by the Blenheim Mennonite Congregation organized in 1839. Their daughter Susannah Erb 1816-1892 married Peter Bricker 1808-1892. Peter Bricker was a member of the Building Committee of the first meetinghouse on this site. Burials in the cemetery in the 1830s indicate it has been used by the community from the beginning of settlement."
