"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.

Just me being sarcastic, but with all those Confederates being buried there, Hollywood Cemetery better be prepared to close its gates or remove those graves...
