In the 1890's Rev. Jacob and Maria Hediger moved to Edmond, Oklahoma. He had hopes of establishing a church on his farm. Although he gave land to the church for a church building and cemetery, a church was never built. On 8 Dec 1903, Rev. Jacob and Maria Hediger conveyed the property to Henry Dahl, Fred Boschen and Henry Yentz and their successors as Trustees of the Evangelishe Lutherische St. Johanes Kirches of which Rev. Hediger was the Pastor. St. Johanes Church was a Lutheran Church in the Edmond Oklahoma area that was established by German speaking immigrants in the late nineteenth century and was affiliated with the German Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Nebraska. The property was used for cemetery purposes by a number of families that had been affiliated with the church. The Evangelishe Lutherische St. Johanes Kirches became extinct and ceased to function in about 1919. On 11 Dec 1963, Traugott Hediger, a son and heir of both Jacob and Maria Hediger, deeded the property to the Peace Lutheran Church of Edmond, Oklahoma. The original books of cemetery records were given to them at that time. Peace Church sold the cemetery about 1996.

The Hediger Cemetery was transcribed in November 2010 by members of the OHCE Genealogy Group, Oklahoma County.
