I've noticed a very small cemetery on Poplar Ave, just south of St. Charles Rd. in Elmhurst. Who is buried there?
Early settlers Adam and Katharina Glos owned a farm in this area now known as Crescent Park. They are buried in this small plot of land, along with a few of their children. (Note: Adam and Katharina were parents of Henry Glos, original owner of the Glos Mansion and current home of Elmhurst Historical Museum. Henry and his wife Lucy, however, are not buried in the Poplar Ave. cemetery. Their final resting place is in the Glos Mausoleum located across from the Glos Mansion).
