Anyway, I stumbled onto it from the Green-Wood Cemetery site. Green-Wood is a beautiful historic cemetery in Brooklyn, NY. It is akin to Washington DC's Congressional and Rock Creek Cemeteries; Baltimore's Greenmount as well as Richmond's Hollywood Cemetery. If you ever have the chance to visit, please do so! Many notables (including Keene and Dr. Abram Dunn Gillette - Lew Powell's spiritual advisor in the death cell) are buried there......

Speaking of Green-Wood, this is something to look forward to:
