I was doing some research on my Axel Lane property at the County Clerk's office when I came across a document that described my neighbor's property as formerly being owned by Isiah Axel.
Naturally I put two and ten together realized that the street must have been named after him (or someone predating him).
I did a little bit of research and located his name (and his wife Iona) on a burial plot diagram of Evergreen Cemetery not far from where the property is located. It took a bit of walking around, but with the help of the parks department I was eventually able to locate their tombs.
