Commentary:
This is the burial place of Paul Cornell and his family. Cornell
founded Hyde Park in 1853 and stated many of its institutions
including the Oak Woods Cemetery where he is buried. Hyde Park
in those days included much of Chicago's South Side including
what we now call Oakland, Woodlawn, Grand Crossing and Pullman.
Until 1889, however, all of them formed a large suburb called
Hyde Park.
The Oak Woods Cemetery is a wonderful place to study Chicago's
history--a good locale for a walk or a field trip.
