    1. Re: [WiMilwau] Pilgrim's Rest Cemetery
    2. Wanderers Rest Cemetery is on the north side of Milwaukee on Burleigh St.. It is now known as Lincoln Memorial Cemetery, the name changing after two "crooks" bought the cemetery, ran it down, sold above-ground crypts which were never built and then ran off with all of the monies and believe some of the trust fund money also. A new owner is trying and doing a pretty good job on bringing it back to a nice looking cemetery but it is going to take some time to do it all. Pilgrims Rest Cemetery is on the south side of the City and is not and has never been connected in anyway that I know of to Wanderers Rest/Lincoln Memorial. Bob of Brookfield
