Like a majority of shows, the Hagenbeck Wallace Circus used a wide variety of letterheads over the years.

Whatever happened to the performers who were killed in the trainwreck in Hammond years ago...some were buried in the Showmen's Rest Cemetery, but someone told me that some of the performers were buried in an unmarked grave in Peru. Is this true?

A very detailed book called "No Performances Today" by Warren A. Reeder Jr. describes the mass grave and funeral services in Hammond. I find nothing mentioned about burial in Peru however the book does detail different dates of death as June 22 and June 26th, 1918.
