St. Paul's Lutheran Cemetery in Skokie in winter

A few blocks from my home in Morton Grove is an old country cemetery that was swallowed up by the neighboring town of Skokie decades ago. St. Paul's Lutheran Cemetery is one of the better-known small graveyards in the Chicago area--it is wear the body of gangster George "Baby Face" Nelson was dumped in 1934.

This is what the cemetery looked like yesterday afternoon.

    My father and two sisters are buried here...one of my sisters was here the whole time I was growing up a few blocks away and I didn't know at the time.
