My cousin and I are working on our family history which has its roots in Norwood Park. My older sister remembers an old black gentleman who pushed a cart and shouted "Rags Ol Iron." His name was Cicero and he lived along the railroad tracks in Norwood Park. This would have been in the 1950s. Does anyone remember Cicero?
