There are no elephants at the Brookfield Zoo. I don't know if that matters or not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:37EC:9C30:E9B2:A304:6FA1:6F48 (talk) 14:49, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Did You Know...

...that Showmen's Rest in Forest Park, Illinois is a 750 plot section of Woodlawn Cemetery where a mass grave of a circus troup were interred following one of the worst circus train wrecks in history? The identity of many victims of the wreck was unknown. Most of the markers note "unidentified male" (or female). One is marked "Smiley," another "Baldy," and "4 Horse Driver."

duplicating material

Half of the material here duplicates Hammond circus train wreck. this article should be restricted to the cemetery, not the accident. Circeus 17:15, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
