    2. Hi Jo Ann! >From what I can tell, the Myers farm was south of the Chapman Road (where it dead-ends into Auburn Road), and on the west side of Auburn Road. The church and school are located on the west side of Auburn Road -- the church on the south side of Chapman Road and the school on the north side of Chapman Road, right? The cemetery should be on the east side of Auburn Road, across the street from the church? From the township map I'm looking at, the Reinhold house was on the same side of the Auburn Road as the cemetery; the Myers house was on the same side of Auburn Road as the church and school. The church was located on the northernmost part of the Myers farm. Apparently the land for the church was donated by our Myers family. One account I read was that Mandis Myers donated the land. I don't know if it was Mandis or Nathan, as Nathan appears to be the landowner at that time. Anyway, the Myers farmhouse was directly south of the church. If you draw a line from the church directly south, you will see the indication for the Myers residence there. I know it's a longshot, but I have been wondering if that house is still standing? If would be very, very old by now. Not being at all familiar with the area (I live in the western suburbs of Chicago), I don't know how much development has taken place, but hope does spring eternal! Thanks for responding. It's pretty interesting about the Reinhold house having slave tunnels!

    3. Karen, I believe I know exactly where you are talking about! It has been a while since I have been down that way, as it is a "back road". I know where the cemetery is, and either the church or school house across the road, which has been converted to a private home. I will try to get over that way sometime yet this week if possible, and see what I can find out for you! Stay tuned! Karl
