RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
Brilliantly memory and conclusion, Roger - James Monroe is correct. His grave is in Hollywood cemetery, Richmond. Photos and info courtesy Bill B.:
"Among those buried there were: Presidents James Monroe and John Tyler; Jefferson Davis; Confederate generals JEB Stuart, George Pickett, Fitzhugh Lee, William 'Extra Billy' Smith, Henry Heth, and Edward 'Allegheny' Johnson; Confederate Secretary of War James Seddon; Historian Douglas Southhall Freeman, and the 'other' Lewis Powell (a US Supreme Court Justice)." I was wondering whether "Hollywood" derives from "holy" (some former spiritual place) or indeed "holly" (the tree) and was told most likely the latter. Roger, you win my best wishes for a wonderful weekend. |
