Rosehill Cemetery
N. Ravenswood Ave., Chicago, IL George S. Bangs Tombstone
George S. Bangs was the U.S. Mail railway superintendent during the Grant presidency. Mail delivery was shortened from several weeks to several days under his direction. Upon his death, former rail clerks paid for his memorial. The tombstone is shaped like a dead tree complete with birds and other animals carved onto it. At the base of the tree a railway mail car appears to be entering a tunnel.

Bangs was only 51 when he died, and the tree trunk was a Victorian graveyard symbol of a life cut short. Epitaph: "His crowning effort: The Fast Mail."
