[78-L] Billy Murray At HolyRoodCemetery---ReplyFromAuthorities

[bruce78rpm at comcast.net]

Everybody knows that George and Martha are buried out back at Mr. Vernon, and that Edison and Mina are buried behind Glenmont. I don't understand the point. Their names and dates of birth and death as well as there legacy is being honored at their final resting place, and at Billy's final resting place, his legacy, and not even his name is recognized !! That is the point. We can agree to disagree with the whole memoralization and visitation issue at ones Grave. and when you go, your heirs or you (if you have a preneed agreement) have the right to store your ashes in the Broom Closet, or mix them in with the Kitty Litter !! Time to let it go. If you don't want to contribute anything and honor the memory of Billy Murray at Holy Rood, that is up to you and so be it. It is our right to honor Billy with this small tribute, and your right not to, it is as simple as that.

Cool! Washington is buried in DC now? When did they move him from 
Mt. Vernon?
