St. John Nepomucene Cemetery
Algonquin River Road, Barrington Hills. Algonquin Township, McHenry County, Illinois.
HISTORY OF ST. JOHN NEPOMUCENE CHURCH AND CEMETERY
On the highest point, at the southwest corner of Algonquin and Church Roads, rests St John Nepomucene church and cemetery, established in 1867. Both were named after the Catholic patron saint of Bohemia (Bohemia, a kingdom prior to 1918, now a county part of the Czech Republic) . This site was primarily organized to fulfill the spiritual needs of 18 Bohemian immigrant families settling in McHenry County during the 1860s.
