Sleepy Hollow Cemetery Tour
On July 9, a van-load of Kendalites took a trip to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery — and returned to tell the tale! The final resting place of the famous, non-famous, and infamous alike, they visited select graveside monuments and heard stories beyond the grave told by Christina Urban-LaSalle, Director of Visitor Services.
Henry Villard told his own story on the back of his monument, but Christina told it better.
Steel magnate Andrew Carnegie chose a modest monument with carved Celtic knots. He acquired considerable wealth and was noted for his philanthropy.
While some graveside monuments were simple or wordy, some let the monument itself tell a story.
