30 | October 20, 2016 | The orland park prairie Life & Arts opprairie.com Village of Orland Park History Museum to conduct cemetery tour Submmitted by Village of Orland Park The burial records of the Orland Memorial Park Cemetery are a walk through Orland Park history. Names like Humphrey, Loebe, Myrick, Schussler, Voss, Yunker and more remember some of the Village’s pioneers of years past. On Sunday, Oct. 23, the Village of Orland Park History Museum is slated to conduct walking tours of the cemetery at 153rd Street and West Avenue. Group tours are to begin at 1 p.m. and continue every 15 minutes, with the final tour beginning at 2 p.m. The cemetery is located on land that was originally owned by George Cox, who sold the initial piece of property for $13 and a lot for himself and his family. Harry Cox, George’s son, was the Village’s third mayor, serving from 1915 until 1923. The younger Cox is also remembered for building the first house in the village in 1880 at 14420 Second Avenue. Orland Park’s early residents were buried outside of the village, because Village Ordinance Number 30, passed in 1924, prohibited graveyards, cemeteries or burying a dead person within the village’s corporate limits or within a mile of town. Orland Memorial Park Cemetery was founded in 1859 and was known as the Orland Burial Ground. When Ordinance 30 was amended in 1930, the Village Board annexed the cemetery. According to the cemetery’s website, the current name was adopted in 1936. Area notables among the Orland Memorial Park Cemetery burials include Samuel Tinley, who was born in 1838 and died in 1919. Susannah Tinley, born in 1836 and died in 1925, is buried in an adjacent grave. Samuel Tinley was nearby Bremen’s first railroad agent in the late 1800s. The town’s name of Bremen was changed to Tinley Park in 1890 with the Village of Tinley Park incorporated two years later on June 27, one month after Orland Park became a municipality. A number of village officials are buried at Orland Memorial Park including five village mayors and some former trustees. Orland Park’s first mayor, John Humphrey, and his family are buried there, as are more recent community members, Eleanor and Paul Voss. Eleanor Voss was the first female matron for the Orland Park Police Department, and her husband, Paul, was an Orland Park police officer and a longtime Village trustee, followed by serving as a founding trustee for the newly formed Orland Fire Protection District in 1969. Orland Fire Station 2, at 151st Street and 80th Avenue, is dedicated to Paul Voss’s memory. The tour fee for those ages 10 and older is $5 per person, payable in cash or check. Attendees also will be able to become museum members. Comfortable shoes and clothing are recommended. Further information about the Village of Orland Park History Museum, located in the former Village Hall at 14415 Beacon Ave., is available by calling (708) 873- 1622 or by emailing museum@orlandpark.org.
