The tombstone marks the family plot for the John Mathias family. John was a very successful immigrant from Luxembourg who homesteaded in Southbrook Township (neighboring Cottonwood Co). He married my great grandmothers sister Elizabeth Jentgen. The tombstone was actually placed and is inscribed for his son Joseph Mathias. Joseph was one of 7 victims of the 1903 tornado which hit primarily Lacrosse Township of Jackson Co and Springfield and Great Bend townships of Cottonwood Co. It wasn't a good day for Catholics...4 are buried at Sacred Heart and 3 are buried at St. Francis Xavier in Windom (Cottonwood Co). -Mike Kirchmeier photo |
