I think that grace is talking about the gathman farms in the soeast corner of the township... and the church, not the st peter or st john, but the methodist church that was at about rohlwing and now biesterfeld in the southwest corner area.... this church is now in itasca... Grace... a scan of the title, would be welcomed for the library.... val ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 9:59 PM Subject: Re: [ILckSCH] Gewecke etc - MIGRATION out of ILLinois What was the name of the farming community, please?
