This unusual grave is believed to be a tribute to Inez Clarke, who was killed by lightning at the age of six. Stories vary as to whether it happened while she was picnicking with her parents, or after they locked her out of the house. Either way, the legend goes that she's so scared of being struck by lightning again, her statue disappears from Graceland Cemetery during thunder storms.

A gorgeous day in the cemetery. Celebrating the sun with this pyramid, a wild acrylic sun disc, and a very chill coyote in a radio collar.

I grew up on Winnemac near Broadway, and during my formative boyhood-garter-snake-catching days knew a few sneaky ways into the maintenance yard of St Boniface Catholic Cemetery and the former backlot of Essanay Studios at it's northeast corner.
I recently listened to an odd podcast that "reviewed" St Boniface Cemetery and it got me thinking about my own semi-recreational use of area cemeteries. I have spent some quality time hiking and exploring Rosehill and Graceland - both as a way to get in touch with Chicago history, and to enjoy the natural splendor of these often avoided places.
LakeView Historical Chronicles website has a great collection of info on northside cemeteries. I can highly recommend LakeView Historical Chronicles site - they have a ton of collected photos, newspaper clippings and other information about the Lake View area, the linked cemeteries page being one of many.

Coyote, Lake, and Inez Clarke in Graceland Cemetery on my broken phone camera. Inez is rumored to have died by lightning strike, and people claim her statue disappears from the box during thunderstorms.
