John James Audubon




From Trinity Cemetery (Uptown). From the map you would think this is somewhere towards the eastern edge of the eastern section. But it is right at the entrance on 155th street. We (my fellow gravehunter Shela was with me) actuall stood next to it to misread the map . Veri impressive work.

Harry Chapin


From Huntington Rural Cemetery. Hard to find (calling there was useless) but at the same time right in front of you. Still getting a rockpile of love.

Tom Carvel



Tom and Agnes Carvel

From Ferncliff. Pretty tricky find. The grave is in the St. Paul section but the section has several different burial patterns. I had to find the right pattern and follow it almost all the way around the section. If you go there it is in a hedgerow on the opposite side from the mausoleum. God bless you both.

Paddy Chayefsky


From Kensico. Took me three tries to find this. Kensico's map is very stylized and it gets you in the vicinity. But without their phone-in tour I never would have found this. If you go there, utilize the phone-in resurces.

This guy won the Academy Award for best screenplay THREE times.My favorite is The Hospital (George C Scott and Diana Rigg, c'mon). RIP Mr. Chayefsky.

Felix Pappalardi


Felix Pappalardi and his mom Elia. Shot by his wife who served two years for criminally negligent homicide (accident). Also known for his record producing capabilities even though the rock musician grind had robbed him of much of his hearing (bass player for Mountain).

From Woodlawn Cemetery. Doesn't appear on their map. His grave is in a section called The Cliffs. It's all the way up at the next to last row from the top of the hill.RIP Felix abd Elia.

Alexander Hamilton


From Trinity Church of New York City (Wall Street). Their graveyard is divided into two lots which flank the church. Hamilton is one of the few monliths. Most of the cemetery has very thin weathered tombstones which are illegible to the human eye. Dollar dollar bill y'all.

The Dorseys

The Sentimental Gentleman
Jane New Dorsey

From Kensico. Very classy design. The side by side effect is very moving.
Although it is in plain site by the side of the road (with mini staircase) I'll still needed the phone tour to find this. Bravo Dorseys.
