The Ghost of Bobby Dunbar was originally broadcast on Chicago Public Radio program, "American Life" on March 14, 2008. This is an interesting story of how a young boy disappeared at the age of three during a family camping trip and the mystery was solved almost 100 years later due to genealogy research.

During the summer the Brentwood Local History Department had transcribed over 900 names from the Brentwood Cemetery headstones. The index to the cemetery can be found at www.findagrave.com. Currently photographs of the headstones are being uploaded to this website. The purpose of this was to make available information to genealogists who have relatives burried in the Brentwood Cemetery.
