From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chippiannock_Cemetery
Chippiannock Cemetery is located on 12th Street and 31st Avenue inRock Island, Illinois. The word "Chippiannock" is a Native Americanterm which means "place of the dead".
History
In 1855 Chippiannock's founders purchased 62 acres and secured theservices of noted landscape architect Almerin Hotchkiss to design acemetery patterned in the Rural Cemetery style of Mt. Auburn inMassachusetts (America's first garden-style cemetery). AlmerinHotchkiss also designed Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn andBellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis.
The landscape design and spectacular examples of art and architectureearned the cemetery National Register status in May 1994. The cemeterywas the third cemetery in Illinois to receive this recognition.
The cemetery includes impressive monuments by Alexander StirlingCalder and Paul de Vigne.
It was also an important location in Max Allan Collins' graphic novel,Road to Perdition, which was the basis for the Oscar-awarded film ofthe same name which starred Tom Hanks and Paul Newman."
