@tmdavis6378 @LiterateIndy @LondonHistorian @CrownHillCem Some of the fanciest memorials on Egyptian Avenue, Highgate, also have fancy addresses, and I've seen it done elsewhere too. Post mortem snobbery! But a whole cluster near the main entrance at Tower Hamlets Cem also have them: presumably because it was a prime location.
Today is #WorldRabiesDay. Dr. Helen Knabe, who immigrated from Prussia to Indy in 1896, was accepted as IN's expert on rabies and proved its widespread existence in the state. Read more about Dr. Knabe on our #IndianaHistoryBlog: blog.history.in.gov/dr-helene-knab…
