April 2, 1871 – “Organized in 1854 as the German Evangelical Lutheran Church, the church first met in the Herman Sandhoff home. The church was built in 1880 on land donated by the Sandhoff family (now Mt. Olivet Chapel) and called the ‘Immanuel Evangelical Church of the Evangelical and Reformed Church of North America.’ Worship services were conducted in German until the early 1900’s. It was completely restored in 1998 as the Mt Olivet Chapel.
Christoph was the first person buried in the Mount Olivet Cemetery on [this date]. Other early members of Mount Olivet such as the Sandhoff, Schmidt, Roggerman, and Hoppenrath families are buried there.”http://plymouthmnhistoricalsociety.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=4&limitstart=2
