From Find a Grave:"On a little lichen and moss covered marble tombstone in the Hebrew cemetery here are two simple words - Rope Walker"
"There is no other information- no identity of the person buried under that brick surrounded mound- no date of that person's birth- or even death."
"Down on Commerce street, in the safe of the Goldsmith Brothers Dry Goods store is a somewhat ancient volume of Hebrew burial records, and on the yellowed pages of this book is the only clue to the identity of the person."
"Fell from Trapeze - 1884"
The space allotted to names is blank, and the succinct statement of how he met his end is contained in the next space, and is followed by the year."
