Pohlker/Poehlker/Polker Cemetery
The Polker Cemetery is a small family burial plot located in Stockton Township of Jo Daviess County, Illinois. The cemetery was established on the Pohlker farm in the early 1860's. The Pohlker farm was located in Sections 35 and 36 of Stockton Township. The last burial in the cemetery is believed to be that of Karl Pohlker in late 1892. After decades of neglect, Mr. Bruce Wollenhaupt repaired the cemetery fence and reset fallen and broken tombstones in the early 1990's.
The burial records of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church at Massbach indicate at least five persons buried in the cemetery that eventually were moved to Ladies Union Cemetery in Stockton. Karl and Maria (Gerner) Pohlker and their three infant daughters were moved to Ladies Union Cemetery in the early 1900's. Their combined gravestone is now located in that cemetery.
The Pohlker family were German immigrants from Leopoldstal, Lippe-Detmold. The name was originally spelled with an umlaut (double dots) over the "o" which in English is spelled "Poehlker". An excellent German website provides information about the family and many other immigrants from Lippe-Detmold. To view the site, go to www.lippe-auswanderer.de and select the American flag icon with the word "english" underneath. Then select "Emigration database Lippe-USA" and then "Data of Emigrants". The alphabetical database of Lippe emigrants can then be viewed. The information is arranged in such a way to be able to understand the birth, marriage, and death information without a knowledge of the German language.
To reach the cemetery, go south about 4 miles on Highway 78 from Stockton. Then turn left onto Ridge Road. Follow Ridge Road for about 3 miles. When the road forks, take the left branch marked "DEAD END". After about a mile the road turns into a farm lane and the abandoned portion of the road is blocked with a gate. You have to go ¼ mile straight east on the abandoned road to reach the cemetery. The cemetery is located on the edge of the timber and is surrounded by a cow pasture.
