I remember passing this cemetery many times while it was closed. What a broken, lonely place it seemed. So glad someone with a heart took it back and renovated it to it’s original glory. What architectural treasures it contains. Thank you for sharing it with us.

What a wonderful treat! I was especially happy to find the grave of one of my favorite character actresses from my youth - Verna Felton. I saw her so many times in so many television shows and movies, that I was certain she must be one of my aunts! My favorite role of hers was the wonderful next door neighbor in "Picnic". Thank you so much!

@@mamiebobb4173 Jack Benny is my all time fave comedian & his show is my favorite program from radio's Golden Age ! What an awesome supporting cast: announcer Don Wilson, Mary Livingston (played by his real life wife, whose real name was Sadie Marks), his valet "Rochester" (played by Eddie Anderson), singer Dennis Day & bandleader Phil Harris. In addition to Verna Felton, frequent guest appearances were given by Mel Blanc (the Man of a Thousand Voices), Bea Bernadet (the voice of TV's "Betty Rubble" and the star of TV's "Petticoat Junction") and Frank Nelson (who was famous for playing snooty floorwalkers & clerks and whose catchphrase was "Yesssssss?" ). Jack's writers would use many skits from the radio program later on Jack's long running TV series.

[@illuminant1129]

Another wonderful tour Arthur. I am sure I am not alone in wishing you could linger a little longer in these places. Harry Langdon was a huge star of the silent screen and it took me aback a little, to see that he had such a tiny and - frankly - neglected looking alcove at the base of that wall. The clip you showed of him was - I think - from 'Tramp, Tramp Tramp' - one of his most successful films. And the girl of his affections, was a young Joan Crawford who won her AA in 1945 - the very year Harry passed away.

What you do, Mr. Dark, is to put faces and history to the meaningless names on sterile if moldy plaques ("faces that'll live forever!") that bring those names to life once again, and that is invaluable.
