Who is buried in Couch's tomb? |
1601 North Clark St Behind the Historical Society at North Ave and Clark. Chicago, IL 60614 |
Before Lincoln Park was a park, it was one of the city's largest cemeteries. Most of the graves were relocated, although construction crews occasionally turn up a body or two. One family refused to move its patron, the tailor Ira Couch, from the grounds. They won a lawsuit against the city and Ira Couch's resting place remained unmoved. As part of the lawsuit, no one is allowed inside the mausoleum. Whether or not Couch is actually inside is a mystery that has puzzled generations of Chicagoans. Stop by when you visit the Chicago Historical Society. Review © 2009, Wcities |
