White Caskets of the Unidentified

White Caskets of the Unidentified
The unidentified children were buried in a mass grave at Lake View Cemetery. Each of the unidentified were buried separately with a marker bearing a number. The number corresponds to some description of what was found on the bodies, such as a ring or piece of cloth, and is recorded in a registry. On 22 October 1910, the memorial for the unknown dead of the Collinwood fire was dedicated at the cemetery. On the opposite side of the memorial's shaft is a bronze tablet that has all of the names of the teachers and children who died. | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special Collections
