Young men at Cleveland's St. Ignatius High School help bury strangers who have few others to mourn them

On a cold, snowy December morning, six young men ride silently past the James A. Garfield monument at Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio.  Founded in 1869, this sacred ground is the final resting place of an American president, John D. Rockefeller, Eliot Ness, members of President Abraham Lincoln?s cabinet, Civil War generals and many other notables.
