This obelisk is about 20 feet tall. It marks the graves of the Edward Waller. Graves of Waller family members surround the monument including one for Edward Waller who died in 1887.
There was a prominent Edward Waller in Chicago who was a real estate developer... and patron of Frank Lloyd Wright...however, that Edward Waller died in 1931. So, perhaps this Waller was a father, grandfather or other family ancestor.
Neither the Wikipedia article (
visit link) which list prominent people buried here nor the Cemetery's own lists (
