Lake View Cemetery opened in 1869 — Cleveland's garden cemetery on the heights, holding President Garfield's towering monument, John D. Rockefeller's modest marker, Eliot Ness, and the whole roster of the city's Gilded Age greatness.
The file's documented spine is the roster's range: a president and the richest man in America sharing a cemetery with the lawman who fought Capone — the garden holding Cleveland's every kind of fame. The Network to Freedom listing marks its abolition-era ground.

THE GARDEN'S DEAD
The file's legend layer is empty — Lake View's claim is its documented roster: 285 acres holding a murdered president, an oil dynasty, and the city's whole history, the Garfield Monument the cemetery's visible anchor.
The cemetery's fame burials are the file's register — a garden where the famous and the forgotten share the ground, the roster being the archive's most star-studded Ohio address.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Lake View is the archive's roster file — Cleveland's garden cemetery holding Garfield, Rockefeller, and Ness, a Network to Freedom site needing no ghosts. The documented burials are the record; the roster is the claim.
A cemetery that holds a president and a titan keeps their memory — the file's suggestion being that Lake View's garden is where Cleveland's history stays visible.
