In the mid 1800’s the settlers in this area of Northfield Township were, for the most part, German families who farmed land. The church that stood next to this cemetery was built in 1863 and stood for almost 100 years. In the early hours of February 22, 1961, despite the efforts of the Northbrook, Glenview, and navy base firemen, the beautiful frame church building was destroyed by fire. While a new building was built near Pfingsten and Willow, all that is left of the old building resides in this cemetery. A walk through this cemetery will reward you with the family namesakes for several familiar Northbrook roads.
