Burial of Chicago Mayor Cermak Ends Tragic Chapter
The burial of Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago on Friday marks the close of another tragic chapter in the Roosevelt assassination attempt. An immigrant from Bohemia, Cermak rose from mule driver and waste wood businessman to a powerful mayor who fought corruption and underworld influence, aiming to keep Chicago financially stable and reputably clean as the Century of Progress Expositions approached. The fatal bullet ended his bid for reform.
