Real history
A committee from St. Paul's Episcopal Church established the cemetery in 1847 along the Janesville Plank Road, then about two miles outside the city, and Increase A. Lapham laid out its curving roads in 1850. The cemetery and its Landmark Chapel are on the National Register and were made a Milwaukee Landmark in 1973 (Wikipedia).
