    3. RE> For anyone interested, a little tidbit: Jackson Park previously was a city > cemetery. Remains there were removed to the new city cemetery, Linwood, and > the park was dedicated in 1856 and named Jackson Park in July 1857. > If I remember the tale correctly from my childhood - the reason the cemetery in Jackson Park was moved was due to flooding from the Mississippi causing many of the coffins and remains to float out of the ground.
