There's one I forgot that I pass by almost every day. On the border of Andersonville and Edgewater, right by the fountain on Clark, there's a headstone that simply says "Peaches." It's got a covered picture on it of a middle-aged lady. I think she passed sometime in her 40s. Don't know if she's buried on site, but the marker always gives me pause when I walk by.

And me being a Sullivan lover...I didn't even think about it. Thanks for the information.

I was looking through Library of Congress photos and stumbled across Hammond Library, touted as a "historic American building," at 44 N. Ashland. Apparently it wasn't historic enough, since it's gone now. Does anyone remember it or know what happened to it? I can guess, since it was not in the greatest of neighborhoods, but I like to satisfy my curiosity. LOC pictures

One lone grave that's always fascinated me is the Andreas von Zirngibl grave on the South Side. von Zirngibl was a Russian immigrant who owned a farm on that land, way back in the day. His will specified that he be buried on his land, no matter what happened to it. That is why it's in the middle of a scrapyard: http://graveyards.com/graveyards/IL/Cook/Andreas-von-Zirngibl-grave The Google
