Today's adventure takes us about 25 miles south of Chicago to the town of Matteson, Illinois. This town started in the 1830's by German immigrants. Today, we are going to explore a cemetery where many of these original immigrants are buried. Included in these graves is that of John Rehfeld, who was a German immigrant who ended up hanging himself from a tree in this area. Also, the grave of Sabra McCoy who was the daughter of a Revolutionary War soldier and who, along with her husband, John, were station masters on the underground railroad. So come join me as we explore Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery and Elliott Cemetery.
