Although James Whitcomb Riley wrote much poetry about life in the heartland, he is best remembered today for his
poems that appeal to children and to the child in all of us, such as "Little Orphant Annie" and "The Raggedy Man".
He was especially loved by the many James Whitcomb Riley The "Hoosier Poet" was buried here in 1917. Known
and acclaimed internationally for his local children who were able to enjoy not only his poetry, but also his time and
lemonade on the front porch of his Indianapolis home on Lockerbee Street. After his death children began
donating coins to help pay for his memorial. The tradition of leaving coins on his monument continues today and

Beautiful view of the Indianapolis skyline from atop the hill where poet James Whitcomb Riley is buried.
Rest on...embalmed and sainted dead. Dear as the blood ye gave. No impious footstep here shall tread, the
herbage of your grave....................................................The muffled drums sad roll has beat, the soldiers last
tattoo. No more on life's parade shall meet, that brave and fallen few.

John Herbert Dillinger (June 22 1903–July 22, 1934) was a bank robber in the Midwestern United States during
the early 1930s. He was a dangerous criminal, who was responsible for the murder of several police officers,
robbed at least two dozen banks and four police stations, and escaped from jail twice, but some people idolized
him as a modern-day Robin Hood. He was nicknamed "the Jackrabbit" for his graceful movements during heists,
such as leaping over counters and his many narrow getaways from police.[1] The exploits of Dillinger and his
gang, along with those of other criminals of the Great Depression such as Bonnie and Clyde and Ma Barker,
dominated the attention of the American press and its readers during what is sometimes referred to as the public
enemy era (1931-1935), a period which led to the development of the modern, more sophisticated Federal
Bureau of Investigation. After spending nearly a year running from police, and hiding out in Florida, Arizona,
Michigan, and Wisconsin, Dillinger was wounded in one escape from police and returned to his father's home to
heal. He soon returned to Chicago in July 1934, the site of several of his highest profile crimes. He was
discovered there by police, who were informed of his whereabouts by a prostitute. On July 22, they closed in on
a theater where he was watching a movie, and moved to arrest him as he left the building. He pulled a weapon
and attempted to flee, but was shot three times, with a bullet through his face killing him. His crimes were
sensationalized across the nation, and his numerous escapes and robberies fed many urban legends in the
United States. Actor Johhn Depp will portray John Dillinger in the 2009 release of the film "Public Enemies.

Outside looking in....a beautiful crypt with stained-glass window and bust.
Resting place of Dr. Richard J. Gatling. The original Gatling gun was designed by the American inventor Dr.
Richard J. Gatling in 1861 and patented in 1862. He wrote that he made it to reduce the size of armies and so
reduce the number of deaths by combat and disease.

Benjamin Harrison (August 20, 1833 – March 13, 1901) was the 23rd President of the United States, serving one
term from 1889 to 1893. Harrison was born in North Bend, Ohio, and at age 21 moved to Indianapolis, Indiana,
where he became a prominent state politician. During the American Civil War Harrison served as a Brigadier
General in the XXI Corps of the Army of the Cumberland. After the war he unsuccessfully ran for the
governorship of Indiana, but was later elected to the U.S. Senate from that state. Harrison, a Republican, was
elected to the presidency in 1888, defeating the Democratic incumbent, Grover Cleveland. He is the only
president elected from the state of Indiana. His presidential administration is best known for its economic
legislation, including the McKinley Tariff and the Sherman Antitrust Act, and for annual federal spending that
reached one billion dollars for the first time. Democrats attacked the "Billion Dollar Congress", and used the
issue, along with the growing unpopularity of the high tariff, to defeat the Republicans, both in the 1890 mid-term
elections and in Harrison's bid for re-election in 1892. After failing to win reelection he returned to private life at
his home in Indianapolis where he remarried, wrote a book, and later represented the Republic of Venezuela in
an international case against the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1900 he traveled to Europe as
part of the case and, after a brief stay, returned to Indianapolis where he died the following year from
complications arising from influenza.

Oliver Hazard Perry Throck Morton (August 4, 1823-November 1, 1877), was a U.S. Republican Party politician
from Indiana. He served as Governor if Indiana during the Civil War, and was a stalwart ally of President
Abraham Lincoln. During the war, Morton suppressed the Democrat controlled Indiana General Assembly. He
exceeded his constitutional authority by calling out the militia without approval, and during the period of
legislative suppression he privately financed the state government through unapproved federal and private
loans. He was criticized for arresting and detaining political enemies and suspected southern sympathizers.
During his second term as governor, and after being partially paralyzed by a stroke, he was elected to serve in
the U.S. Senate. He was a leader among the Radical Republican reconstructionists, and supported numerous
bills designed to punish and reform the former Southern Confederacy. In 1877, during his second term in the
senate, Morton suffered a second debilitating stroke that caused a rapid deterioration in his health; he died later
that year. He was mourned nationally and his bier was attended by thousands before his burial in Indianapolis's
Crown Hill Cemetery. The home where he was born still stands in Wayne County, Indiana along National Road 40.

problems in the small 25 acre (101,000 m²) cemetery for the growing city of Indianapolis. The first burial took
place the next day on June 2, 1864 for a young mother named Lucy Ann Seaton, who died of consumption.

well known for the stunning view of downtown Indianapolis from "The Crown."Crown Hill Cemetery is the
largest refuge for animals in the city, including an estimated 300+ white-tailed deer. There are also numerous
species of trees, each of which is marked with a number that corresponds to its scientific name and its
common name.
