 g. Park City’s Fraternal Organization established the Glenwood Cemetery 
 in 1885 to provide a burial place for their members\, a benefit of membe
 rship. It was a classic Victorian cemetery in a not so Victorian town\, 
 and many funerals did not follow the rules of Victorian tradition. Barba
 ra will introduce you to William Gidley\, a colorful man who was the Gle
 nwood’s sexton from 1898 until 1924\, the year he died. Have you ever wo
 ndered how graves were dug in the middle of a Park City winter 125 years
  ago? You will hear about the funerals in general in those days\, and th
 e specifics of some very unusual ones. Some funerals were simple. Others
  were elaborate with brass bands and processions of mourners following t
 he hearse to the Glenwood. Several funerals encountered rather unexpecte
 d events which you will learn about in detail. For example\, do you know
  that the Crescent tramway ran along the hillside above the Glenwood? Wh
 at could possibly go wrong? Barbara has a degree in History from the Uni
 versity of California Irvine. Her love of Park City’s history began when
  she and her husband Ken moved to Park City’s Old Town in 1973. She is a
  member of the Park City Historical Society and Museum Board of Trustees
  and volunteers as a research historian and tour guide for the Glenwood 
 Cemetery. She is passionate about the preservation of the Glenwood. And\
 , yes\, she will also tell you about Patrick Coughlin’s funeral....\nThe
