Death
Engel was hanged with three others of the condemned on November 11, 1887. His last words were reportedly "Hurrah for anarchy! This is the happiest moment of my life", screamed from the gallows in his native German.
Engel was buried, in a plot marked since 1893 by the Haymarket Martyrs Monument, in the Waldheim Cemetery (now Forest Home Cemetery) in Forest Park, Chicago.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“It was not death he feared—it was the disgrace of death, and the misery of the ignominious preparations. He knew in his heart that heaven could not call it murder that he had done; but he felt equally sure that man would do so.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“Yea, worse than death: death parts both woe and joy:
From joy I part, still living in annoy.”
