Saint Mary's Church and its cemetery sits atop Hoytt Hill in Ellinger. There is a historic marker in front of the church, which describes the history of this church, built to serve the area Czech immigrants in the late 1800's.
The cemetery is right behind the church. It's quite a peaceful place, helped by it's location on top of the hill.
One of the graves belonged to a soldier killed in action during WWI:
Some graves were seeded with wildflowers, adding to the color palette of the different flower arrangements found all over the cemetery
The location also offers a nice view of the area...
