Foreman of the Liberty Hose Co. Killed at the Large Fire on S Water and Lake St Oct 19, 1857. Aged 25 Years 6 Months and 5 days.
Oddly, since he predates Graceland, he was probably in City Cemetery, now Lincoln Park during the Great Fire of 1871. As the cemetery was being moved, people hid from the flames in the open graves, according to period accounts. So people may have hid in his grave from the fire.
