Died January 20 1859, Aged 100 Years. Beside him, lies a descendent of the fourth generation, Aged 1 day. Recovered from Frederick Township, Maryland; June 19 1805"

The most surprising stones in this plot were almost halloween prop fake looking, with death dates that predated the founding of the cemetery by nearly a century. These were clearly reclaimed from much older graveyards by Brooklyn family and reset here when Green Wood was the HOT place to be buried. Many have capsized into the soft ground by more than half.

Sid Bernstein — he rarely used his full given name, Sidney, was born in Manhattan on Aug. 12, 1918. He was adopted by Yiddish-speaking Russian immigrants who called him Simcha, which means joy or gladness in Hebrew. In 1943 he joined the Army and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. While he was stationed in France after the war, he set up and ran a nightclub for American soldiers.Upon his return to New York he began organizing singles weekends in the Catskills, as well as weekly dances at the Tremont Terrace, a Bronx nightclub. When the Puerto Rican population of the neighborhood grew, and Latin music was in greater demand, Mr. Bernstein changed the club’s name to the Trocadero and began alternating Latin concerts with the bar mitzvahs that were still an important part of the club’s business.By the early 1960s, around the time he was presenting Judy Garland and others at Carnegie Hall, Mr. Bernstein was also overseeing shows by James Brown and other rhythm-and-blues performers at the Paramount. Between the 1964 and ’65 Beatles tours, he began managing the Young Rascals (they soon dropped Young from their name) and the singer-songwriter Laura Nyro. He later presented concerts or arranged tours by Jimi Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac and others.

Many picnicking, most with kids, a few true blue assholes with dogs they snuck in. I understand the desire to be in that space, lord knows i do, but you gotta show some basic respect.
