Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1870s, Highland Cemetery has been a window into Wichita's story. Wichita's early founders are buried here as are their families. The names on the gravestones such as Greiffenstein, Munger, Mead, Meagher, English, Steele, Lawrence, Snitzler, Sowers, and Harris read like a "who's who" of early Wichita. Different people refer to death differently. But no matter how we honor our dead one thing is always the same: We all die, and we all deserve a kind and respectful burial, in a cemetery plot of our own choosing. This is the story of one such cemetery--the oldest cemetery in Wichita: Highland Cemetery.
