Located in the beautiful Lindenwood Cemetery. The cemetery dates
back to the 1800's and is listed in the U.S. National Register of
Historical Places.
"As Fort Wayne grew in the mid–nineteenth century, several
community leaders believed the young city needed a larger,
nonsectarian, and nonprofit cemetery to replace the older Broadway
Cemetery. Efforts to form an association for this purpose began in
1855, and by 1859 twelve established businessmen had advanced
$11,000 for the project. In early July 1859 the group purchased 152
acres of dense, overgrown, and, in some places, swampy land for
$7,627.59. The land was overgrown with linden trees; therefore,
when the association was incorporated by the state on 30 July 1859
it was designated Lindenwood Cemetery. On 30 May 1860 the cemetery
was dedicated; the first burial occurred early in July." -
