Wooden Cross at St. Felicitas Cemetery
Read by Tiffany Jansen , Gloria Dettleff and Dorothy Falk
Current as of 15 Dec 2001
St. Felicitas Catholic Cemetery is located in T3N R3W NWNE20 on the south side of Church Road, about midway between Stolletown Road and Jenne Road, east of the church. For the purposes of this listing, we began the row numbering at the left/east row. We began the stone numbering within each row at the back/south end of the row to make future burials numbering easier. There are a few grave spaces in the current rows with no stones. A few of the older stones are weather worn and difficult to read.
One sturdy wooden cross is still standing - a precious relic from the past. It measures 50” tall and 30” across and was constructed with 2” x 4” boards. It is weathered and some grain has been eroded. The name and dates are no longer visible except for a possible “ich” for a first name. That could be Heinrich or Friederich, etc.
Rev. Feldman is the only priest buried here, and he is buried in the center in front of the statues.
GHS means Government Head Stone for the Illinois Veterans’ Commission use.
