Lutheran Cemetery walking tour

Local historian Karin Marie Kirsch will conduct a walking tour of the Lutheran Cemetery in honor of Benjamín Bosse, who was buried there 100 years ago. The program will begin at 1 p.m. with the dedication of a long-lost plaque that was part of the Bosse family memorabilia.

Benjamin Bosse (1874-1922) was a successful businessman who was Evansville’s mayor from 1914 to 1922. He constantly searched out ways to improve Evansville. The coliseum, Reitz and Bosse high schools, Evansville College and Bosse Field are just a few of the many projects he worked on. An active member of Trinity Lutheran Church, he served as the cemetery’s secretary-treasurer from 1895 until his death in 1922, personally caring for its landscaping.

Three other mayors of Evansville are buried in the Lutheran Cemetery: John W. Boehne (1906-1909), business partner and mentor; William H. Dress (1935-43 and 1948-49), protegee; and Edwin F. Diekmann (1949-1952), family friend. The tour will include other interesting, prominent citizens who were part of Evansville’s growth.
