Washington Park Memorial Gardens
Washington Park Memorial Gardens, now under corporate ownership, was started by the West Side Christian Schools. Many of the Dutch and German Reformed faith are buried here. One of the earliest mentioned is Jennie Van Slooten 1842-1881, born in Holland, as was her husband, Fred, a cabinet maker, and daughter, Annie, who was only 15 when her mother died. Near the cemetery entrance is a section dedicated to children called Babyland where small heart-shaped memorials are placed.
