Zion Lutheran Cemetery,
Priddy, Mills County, Texas



July 1997, I had gone to the Zion Lutheran Cemetery to survey and index the Zion Lutheran Cemetery located just outside of Priddy, TX on county road 132. May of 2001- I took pictures of practically every marker in the cemetery-

Since I live in the area, I have more information about most of the people listed below, i.e. parents, record locations, children and service records if any or know who to direct you towards for help. You can contact me by writing to:


Sharon Ivy
P.O. Box 117
Priddy, TX 76870
or you can email me  

The earliest known grave was in 1889 and belongs to Ottielia Brunski, Sep 12, 1878 - Feb 13, 1889:

The Zion Lutheran Church "Centennial Directory" has the some other death's recorded in the early years of the church 1889 to 1907 for the church.

The following names were listed in the Zion Lutheran Church "Centennial Directory" 1889-1989 under "Zion Lutheran Church Deaths" between the years 1900 and 1907 and may be buried in a home family plot, in the Becker Mountain, Now known as St. John's Lutheran Cemetery or in this cemetery. I will list them here until I can move them to the proper list. if you have any information, please contact me at [email protected]

Rauhut Eugenie   1903 She is buried in this cemetery and was in a well marked with a hard to read headstone. Her obituary just said a cemetery in Priddy - She is the daugther of R. Schuster and newly wed wife of Mr. Emil Rauhut(Rauhart?) Listed in The Zion Lutheran Church "Centennial Directory" 1889-1989 so it took a little while before I located her
Radeke Eilhelmine   1907 Listed in The Zion Lutheran Church "Centennial Directory" 1889-1989 (could she be Minnie, the daughter of Carl and Margaretha Wagner Radeke who was baptised in Zion in 1889?)

(Note: spelling of last name is different also) FATAL ACCIDENT

Last Sunday morning, Mrs. Emil Rauhart was drowned in a tank on her father's premises in the Priddy Community. The report received by the Eagle is to the effect that Mrs. Rauhart had been very sick, but was convalescing and walked to tank in company with some small children. Being weak from sickness she fainted and fell into the water and was drowned before the children could summons help.

Mrs. Rauhart was formerly Miss Eugenia Schuster and was married to Mr. Rauhart about five months ago. She was a daughter of Mr. R. Schuster, one of the old settlers of the community. The family stands high and the fact that the funeral Monday was attended by all of the people of that community and for five miles around shows in what high esteem she was held. There were sixty-five vehicles in the procession, besides many on horseback. The funeral services were held by Rev. Arch Lewis, at the cemetery.

The young husband and the parents of the deceased Lady have the undivided sympathy of us all.  -=-=-=-=-=eagle1903-=-=-=-==-
