Where was the Genzmer cemetery?

I was wondering if anyone knows where the location of the Genzmer cemetery is? And who is buried there? I was told that there are about 20 people buried there. It was supposedly on the original farmsite of Ludwig Gensmer, and was deeded in 1858. The graves were not marked well and cemetery ended up being plowed over. A Raabe family was living there (on the farmsite) in 1936. I'm pretty sure it was on the western edge of Mayville.

here is part of a copy of an old email i saw online:

"Williamstown Township - Gensmer cemetery - This cemetery is now
destroyed, was on the former Gensmer Farm. There were probably 17 or 18
persons buried there. It is now on the Gilbert Bonack farm at the east edge
of Mayville. Mrs. Evaline Boeck of Mayville is suppose to know who these
people are."" But I can not seem to find Mrs. Boeck.

In some papers I had was 'St. Michaels Cemetery, Town of Hubbard. Christian
Hilke born in Koenigsberg-neumark, brandenburg, Preussen 12-25-1787 died 5-15-1879 in Hubbard, son of Hilke and Regina
Gentzmer, deeded land for cemetery in 1858.
Maria (wife of Christian) b.4-05-1798 -10-23-1870."
