New York with the Family

  On both mornings I got up and out of the room by 6 to explore Green-Wood Cemetery not too far from where I stayed.  It was started as a rural cemetery in 1838 and has quite the history along with interesting grave markers.  The top photo is nothing sexist, just someone named Loser buried next to someone who was a husband.  I found where Christmas was buried, corner of Grape and Sassafras.  The first engagement of the Battle of Long Island during the Revolutionary War was fought on a hill where the cemetery is now, I saw Samuel Morse's grave and texted a photo of it, and the cemetery is the final resting place for New York's most infamous statue, Civic Virtue.  At various times women took issue with the male figure standing on the necks of women representing vice tangled up in nets and it was moved a couple times until it ended up here.
