In 1911, a group of African American funeral directors approached Raymond Olson, the owner of Chicago's Oak Hill Cemetery, and proposed that a portion of the undeveloped land that he owned open as an African-American cemetery. Raymond agreed, and Lincoln Cemetery opened. Its first burial took place in April 1911.
