Green-Wood Cemetery
Section 114, Lots 18439-18440.
The principal monument here bears on its 4 sides the names of those buried here, some who were once here but were moved in 1905, and some who were never buried here but whom the family wished to memorialize. Only one of the 6 generic or initialed footstones on the lot adds any information not on the central monument.
