Outlaw to be buried at long last
John Long who was hanged in 1845 will finally be buried this fall in Pioneer Cemetery within Black Hawk State Park. The skeleton, kept since 1845 and moved through Rock Island Arsenal and Hauberg Museum, faced display objections for a new cultural theme and education goals. The plan, approved by the state Department of Conservation, places him beside about 30 other settlers, with controversy over public reaction split.
