Daywalkers Paranormal visits Showmen's Rest in Woodlawn Cemetery to pay respect to those who died in a tragic train accident near Gary, Indiana in 1918.
Woodlawn Cemetery is located in Chicago and is dedicated to those who died in that accident and to others who have dedicated themselves to entertaining others.
The Hammond Circus Train Wreck occurred on June 22, 1918, and was one of the worst train wrecks in US history. Eighty-six people were reported to have died and another 127 were injured when a locomotive engineer fell asleep and ran his train into the rear of another near Hammond, Indiana.
The circus train held 400 performers and roustabouts of the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus. Most of the 86 who were killed in the train wreck perished in the first 35 seconds after the collision. Then, the wreckage caught on fire. Among the dead were Arthur Dierckx and Max Nietzborn of the Great Dierckx Brothers, a strongman act, and Jennie Ward Todd of The Flying Wards. There were also 127 injuries.
