 A current aerial view of the cemetery |
The
original Emanual Missouri Lutheran Church was located on the east end of this
property. This church declined in membership and the cemetery was allowed to
fall into serious neglect for many years in the mid 1900's. The church members began
attending the First English Lutheran Church in Parker, and ultimately sold the church
building for use as a farm granary and moved the cemetery records to the Parker
Church. The cemetery has had limited care and is essentially unused. The cemetery name was likely renamed by the WPA in about 1940 as Wellington Cemetery after the closest settlement that was roughly 3 miles north and 1/2 mile east. This would have occured because the name Emanual Cemetery was not known to them.

 A current photo of the now unused and relocated church |
The photo of the church
at the left illustrates how such church buildings retain their character while being used
for agricultural purposes, a change that has occurred over and over in many rural areas
with small populations. The buildings were relatively well constructed to last for
well over 50 years without any maintenance, some were used for granaries, some for
equipment repair shops, some turned into housing. The usefulness depended on the
capabilities of the purchasing farmer.
