I recall Helen Sclair the "Cemetery Lady" saying the cemetery with the most burials in one grave (not plot) was at Calvary Cemetery with 10 (maybe 12).   Judie Mason Chicago --- On Thu, 2/26/09, bessinger janice <janmelb@yahoo.com> wrote: From: bessinger janice <janmelb@yahoo.com> Subject: [IL-COOK-CHICAGO] many bodies in grave To: il-cook-chicago@rootsweb.com Date: Thursday, February 26, 2009, 9:13 AM My Malone/Moloney/Ray/Rea family found a grave in Calvary with 21 bodies. Actually it was probaly a couple of gravesites. The oldest was buried in 1864 and the latest was in 1933. There was no marker of any kind visible so the extended family raised the money and placed a nice but simple marker with the surnames. When it was being placed at the grave, as they dug down, they found a limestone marker with the surnames but no dates. BTW, many of the folks who contributed had met through the genealogy on the web. We found second, third cousins, etc. from Michigan to Florida to California. It has been fun. Good luck to all.
