In 1867, Lester Scheiks father came to Mokena at 8 years old. Lesters Grandfather built their farm on 30 acres at the corner of Wolf Road and 191st Street. Their house sat where Greased Lightning sits today. The Scheiks Dairy at one point provided milk to 95% of Mokena, serving about 400 customers a week.
The Scheik family exemplifies the hard working spirit that built Mokena at a time when Wolf Road and 191st Street were out in the country. If you have seen the cover of Matt's Mokena book, the Scheik home is featured on the cover!
