Green-Wood Cemetery
Section 36, Lots 49-50.
Only 6 of the 15 SKILLIN burials here are memorialized by name in stone. Until 1892, the giant brownstone SKILLIN monument (Skillin is the only word inscribed on it) stood to memorialize everyone buried here up to that time. Most burials since 1892 are marked by individual stones. A list of lot residents, with burial dates, appears after the inscriptions.
