1. Longanbach and Engler Families Marker

Inscription. In dedication to the Longanbach and Engler families who are buried on these grounds. These families were among several who in the 1830s bravely immigrated from their homes in the German Confederation and traveled across the Atlantic Ocean to North America for better opportunities. They became some of the early pioneer farmers in Sandusky County, Ohio. May this plot of ground serve as a special tribute to their heroism, daily labor, hardships and loyalty to their God and their families under the trying circumstances of their time. Their descendants, many of whom continue to live in this area, are forever grateful to them for their efforts made toward improving the land from its original swampy wilderness into the rich heritage we see and experience today.
