The Schulenburg City Cemetery began as the Lyons Family Cemetery in 1834, with the burial of Clarissa C. Lyons. Subsequently, many early settlers utilized this site for burials. In 1879, the Franz Russek Family sold three acres establishing the Schulenburg City Cemetery. This organization oversaw the grounds until 1995, when the City of Schulenburg obtained the site. Today, the cemetery remains as a memorial to early settlers and residents of Schulenburg.
