About Jaeger-Witte Cemetery
The Jaeger-Witte Cemetery began as a family burial ground of German immigrants who settled in Washington County, Texas, in the 1850s. Two graves already existed when Carl Hagedorn died in 1865, and the land later passed to Henry Jaeger Sr. and his wife Alvine. The Jaegers expanded the grounds and renamed the cemetery, joined to the Wittes by marriage.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Jaeger-Witte Cemetery
A well-preserved example of a family cemetery founded by German immigrants to Texas, the Jaeger-Witte Cemetery begins with two related families, the Hagedorns and the Wittes, settling in Washington County in the 1850s. There were already two graves when Carl Hagedorn died in 1865. The land around the cemetery was given to his daughter Adele. Her son, Paul, inherited the land and sold it to Henry Jaeger Sr. and his wife Alvine. At that time, the cemetery was expanded to a quarter acre. The Jaegers made a section for family graves and the name was changed to Jaeger-Witte Cemetery, since the Hagedorns had married into the Witte family. The cemetery is still in use by the Jaeger family. HISTORIC TEXAS CEMETERY – 2019 Source: https://atlas.thc.texas.gov/Details/5000023695
