As light snow falls across Chicago, a couple of white-tailed deer make themselves at home among the headstones in Rosehill Cemetery at 5800 N. Ravenswood Ave. on the North Side. (Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times)

As a frosty wind raked the fallen leaves, two visitors to the cemetery nestled down in the grass.

They did not appear to be there to visit Leonard Peil, Florence A. McClenthen, Herman A. Poppenhusen — or even those who lie beneath headstones so old their names have been wiped clean away.
