This site in the Municipality of Rhineland contains eight visible graves for members of the Driedger family with more indentations in the ground, possibly indicating more burials. A modern marker is for Isaak D. Driedger (1899-1954). The oldest tombstone is for Abram Driedger (18611946) and his wife Kornelia Bergen Driedger (1872-1948). Foundational outlines mark three others graves with the names sketched in: Mary, Susana and Franz Driedger (1923-1924). Two other graves are not marked. Abraham and Kornelia lived in Gruenthal near Gretna.
