Green Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn: A Picture Thread

Speaking of Pop Smoke, I kept running into groups of kids in hoodies in the same section of the cemetery and couldn't figure out why... that's hardly a regular occurrence. A bit of research revealed he was buried in one of the new sections of the cemetery and they must be paying respects. I'll try to find and get a photo next time I'm in there.

I have a few hundred more pictures from the past two weeks but it takes time to upload and curate and read up on the histories... anybody care?

I like looking and reading the histories (if they're short). But it's on your time, so do what you will.

Experimental/Broadway composer/singer/songwriter Gelsey Bell just released a music-infused walking tour of Green-Wood; I'm a fan of her work and figure this is worth $7 for either a virtual exploration or an in-person one if you're nearby enough to do it there. I'll test drive afore too long.

took a walk out there to get my head together and found an all-time champion.

Ladies, gentlemen, intersex and non-binary: allow me to introduce you to... Mother Puttfarcken

It wasn't particularly close given the sheer quality of "Mother Puttfarcken" but second place name of the walk went to the under-any-other-circumstances strong contender: Sister Eunice Dibble Rehorn

Bronze goes to Flossey M. Sullivan, "A bud on earth to bloom in Heaven."

Epitaph weirdo of the day is this line for two-year old baby Clydie: "Who plucked that flower? THE MASTER!"
