All, Can SKS double check the genealogy info I've compiled in reviewing the RATHJE family in the Village of Peotone, Will County, Illinois: I note that (possibly) Frederick, Sr., Frederick, wife, Lotta (Narges), 2d wife Marguetha (Fink), Frederick & Lotta's kids Henry, Louis, Sophia, & offspring w/ Marguetha, Clara & Lydia, all attended Peotone's Lutheran (later Evangelical & Reformed) Church, ca 1864 thru __? Also attending Peotone's Lutheran Church were Henry & his wives, 1st Willhelmina (Luhman), & children, Edward, Anna, Walter & Herman, & 2d Catherine (Koenecke), & their offspring, Emma, Otto, Paul, Ester. Is this data correct according to your research? I didn't find any mention of the Lutheran, or Evangelical & Reformed Church, which I believe was the 1st or 2d church built in Peotone ca 1859. Do you know where it was, when the name was changed to Evangelical & Reformed? Many Thanx for your help, & we have to get together this spring, Wally God Bless America Walter (Joan) X. McElligott P.
