For some who were buried in Cincinnati's cemeteries, the graveyard is not the last stop on life's train.

Benjamin Harrison's father. In a city teeming with immigrants and transients, these sack 'em up grave robbers had ample opportunities to supply cadavers to Cincinnati's medical schools for a hefty profit, and if fresh graves weren't available, they simply lurked for victims in the saloons and dark alleys of Vine Street and the West End.
