Green-Wood Faces
A visitor's original deed to a Green-Wood lot and two photographs of her interred ancestors.
Last Wednesday, I was told that a woman on our regularly-scheduled trolley tour had an original deed to a Green-Wood lot with her, signed by Henry Pierrepont. Pierrepont was the primary mover behind the establishment of Green-Wood Cemetery in 1838, and was its longtime president.
It is always good to learn about Green-Wood from our visitors. So, as the trolley tour ended, I went out to meet this woman. She was very nice, very enthused at Green-Wood, and showed me the deed and two photographs of her ancestors who are interred here... click here to see the rest of this post, with images, on the Green-Wood website.
