Haymarket Martyrs' Monument

Forest Home Cemetery

Forest Park, IL

 

Following their executions for the Haymarket Affair, August Spies, Samuel Fielden, Adolph Fischer, George Engel, Louis Lingg, and Albert Parsons were buried at German Waldheim Cemetery (merged with Forest Home Cemetery). Later on Michael Schwab and Oscar Neebe were also buried here when they died, reuniting the "Martyrs." Many activists and labor leaders are buried there, including Emma Goldman.
