Victorian era cemetery located in the north side 
community area of Uptown.

ungenerous parcel of land; the cemetery became a 
pastoral landscaped park dotted with memorial 
markers, with room left over for picnics, a common 
usage of cemeteries. The landscape architecture for 
Graceland was designed by Ossian Cole Simonds
