Is One of Jack the Ripper's Victims Buried in Illinois?-- Part 1: Daniel Stott

There is a likelihood that there is a body buried in Garden Prairie Cemetery off US-20 between Marengo and Belvidere, Illinois.  It is west of Burma Road and east of garden Prairie Road.  The cemetery is well-maintained and has many older burials, the more recent ones on the west side.

Daniel Stott, born 1820, died 12 June 1881.  Row 11, section 23A

Find-A-Grave says that Mr. Stott is the only male victim of Dr. Thomas Nell Cream, suspected as being the Jack the Ripper.
