A Monumental Notebook Man George L. Pease (1835-1895) Section 138 Lot 27762 George L. Pease was a partner in Boorum & Pease, notebook manufacturers, located in the Dumbo and Vinegar Hill sections of Brooklyn. From his obituary in the New York Times, February 26, 1895: “George L. Pease, formerly Vice President of the Shoe and Leather National Bank, died yesterday morning at his home, 325 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn. He was stricken with apoplexy at 11 o’clock Sunday morning. Mr. Pease had been ill all winter, and for two weeks had been confined to his bed. His illness is attributed to worry over the $354,000 defalcation [fraud] of Samuel C. Seely and Frederick Baker. When the defalcation was discovered, Mr. Pease did all in his power for the bank and its depositors, and overexerting himself, affected his health. He was re-elected Vice President at the annual meeting on Jan. 8, but resigned his position on Feb. 15, and at once took to his bed, where he remained until his death. “Mr. Pease owned a large interest in the Boorum & Pease Company, which manufactures blank books, and left a large estate. He was born in Painesville, Ohio, in June 1835. With his father he moved to Detroit, Mich., when he was nine years old, and there and at Lodi, Mich., he obtained his education. He afterward taught school and engaged in civil engineering. He was admitted to his father’s business, and later bought out his father’s interest in the Detroit Paper Company, He came to New York in November 1868, and associated himself with William B. Boorum, under the firm name of Boorum & Pease, and did a blankbook and stationery business. The company became a stock corporation in 1890, with Mr. Pease as its President…” Boorum & Pease kept facilities in Brooklyn from 1888 to 1984, including their first factory at the corner of Front and Bridge streets (184 Front Street), and a building two blocks further east on Front Street at 84 Hudson Avenue. The building on Hudson Avenue still exists today, boasting the company’s name on its façade. Around 1980, the company relocated to Elizabeth, New Jersey, and in 1985 was acquired by Esselte, a Swedish office product company that operates globally.
My first introduction to a classification of memorial stone known as ‘Adam and Eve Stones’ was on a rainy walk through the village of Colmonell in South Ayrshire. The roofed entryway of the church beckoned, a lone bench offering shelter from the downpour. • I’m not a religious person, but have long appreciated the quiet solace and shelter offered by churchyards along my wanders. I’ve sat in many a cemetery for my meal breaks, to rest my weary feet, and of course to explore the tributes to the dead. • As I huddled in the entryway, I found some interesting information about the stones in little cemetery including the ‘Fall Stone’ or ‘Adam and Eve Stone’, which dates to about 1758. This type of stone was apparently common in centuries past, but few remain in good condition today. The stone depicts: • • The Resurrection across the top, with a skeleton flanked by two trumpeting angels. • • Adam, Eve and the Serpent across the center. • • A depiction of farming with 2 ploughman and oxen across the bottom (which is sadly sinking into the earth.) • #findherinthehighlands #scotland #tapophile #cemetery #gravestone #scottishhistory #ayrshire #scotlandisnow

A Monumental Prodigy Annie Blanche Calvert Bennett (1873-1893) Section 98 Lot 17420 Annie Bennett was a gifted young Brooklyn woman who unfortunately passed before she could reach her full potential. From her obituary in the New York Times, September 22, 1893: “DEATH OF A BRIGHT YOUNG WOMAN “Miss Annie Blanche Calvert Bennet Gave Promise of a Brilliant Career. “The funeral of Miss Annie Blanche Calvert Bennet, oldest daughter of Sidney A. Bennett, who died Tuesday, will be held at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon from the residence of her relative, Henry M. Calvert, 138 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, which she made her home. “Miss Bennett was a remarkable young woman in many ways, and many friends mourn her early death. She was but twenty years old. She had a rare talent for art and music, and in the few years she had devoted to those studies had displayed an ability which gave promise of future distinction. “Particularly good was her memory, and many times she gave evidence of its quickness and retentiveness. She was an omnivorous reader, and her chief delight was to entertain, as she did in a charming way, young children with pretty tales selected from her reading. “For art Miss Bennett had a passion, and when sickness prevented active study, she painted as she lay on a lounge in her room, the canvas suspended from a swivel in the ceiling. “Miss Bennett was born in Brooklyn Feb. 11, 1873. Her father, who is a business man of means, is now abroad.” Miss Bennett’s monument features her likeness, possibly sculpted from a post-mortem mask which was a common practice at the time, as well as a musical instrument and artist’s utensils.

🦠Rabies Death 🦠 A Grave in the Middle of the Road!! (Story by Traveling Arkansas and information provided by Find A Grave website) This is the grave of Curtis Underwood. He died of Rabies in 1898, at the age of 19. When the road was being built, the family refused to allow the grave to be moved. So, they crafted a median so the grave would not be disturbed. As an historical aside, despite the fact famed scientist, Louis Pasteur, had discovered a treatment for those who contracted rabies in 1885, the knowledge of the treatment spread slowly among the medical community. I have heard stories of country folks, during the 1800s and early 1900s, isolating family members who contracted rabies out of fear it could spread to other members of the family. As the infected person became more and more grotesque in their actions as the virus progressed, there are stories of rabies victims being tied down in their bed, or even tied to trees until they died. While that sounds horrible by our standards, not knowing if rabies was contaigious, folks from that era were only trying to protect the rest of the family. 🖤This grave is now in the middle of Cortez Road just outside the entrance of the Golf Course. When Cortez road was built, it was built so that you traveled on either side of the grave. It is the only grave at this site. . . . . . #headstone #spooky #tapophile #graveyard #gravesite #death #cemeteries #cemetaryphoto #cemetaryphotography #oldcemetery #cemeterybeauty #spooky #gravestone #tombstones #grave #creepy #cemeteriesofinstagram #graveyard #graveyardphotography #gravestones #cemeterylovers #ghost #curtisunderwood #rabies

Awhile back we visited the Toledo Hospital Cemetery which holds the remains of nearly 2000 patients of what was once the Toledo Insane Asylum. The toledo State hospital reclamation project has done an amazing job unearthing the markers and identifying 90% of the unmarked graves. I hope to see more of this good kind of work throughout the country. Give a name back to those who were so cruelly discarded and forgotten. - Eerie Eryn #cemeterywandering #tapophile #toledoohio #toledostatehospitalcemetery #paranormal #division3am #cemetery

Edward and Lorraine Warren were well-known paranormal investigators and authors associated with prominent cases of alleged hauntings. Edward was a self-taught demonologist, author, and lecturer. Lorraine a clairvoyant and a light trance medium. They helped many individuals overcome the unthinkable. Their home is only about a 3 minute drive up the road, I'll show you that in my next video. Their presence is still heavily active around this grave. I had a lot of interesting things happen while I was sitting there as well as overwhelming emotion which doesn't usually happen to me at cemeteries! #cemeterywandering #edwardwarren #lorrainewarren #thewarrens #thewarrensgrave #cemeteries #darktraveler #graveyard #gravestones #graveyardwanderer #cemeterytok #tapophile #fyp #spooky365 #realmseekers
A Monumental Writer James Kirke Paulding (1778-1860) Section 49 Lot 766 James Kirke Paulding was an American writer and politician. Born in Dutchess County, New York, Paulding briefly attended a village school but was largely self-educated. Moving to New York City in 1800, Paulding became a close friend of Washington Irving. With Irving, Paulding proposed a literary project: “one day in a frolicsome mood, we broached the idea of a little periodical merely for our own amusement, and that of the town, for neither of us anticipated any further circulation.” The result was Salmagundi, a short-lived satirical periodical, in which the word ‘Gotham’ was first ascribed as a name for New York City. In 1814, Paulding published a political pamphlet, ‘The United States and England’, which attracted the notice of President Madison. In 1815, he appointed Paulding Secretary to the Board of Navy Commissioners. Subsequently, Paulding was Navy Agent in New York City, and from 1837 Secretary of the Navy under President Van Buren. As Secretary, Paulding was conservative, his wide knowledge of naval affairs balanced by a lack of enthusiasm for new technology. He opposed the introduction of steam-propelled warships, declaring that he would ‘never consent to let our old ships perish, and transform our Navy into a fleet of (steam) sea monsters.’ Nevertheless, his tenure saw advances in steam engineering, exploration efforts, enlargement of the fleet and an expansion of the Navy’s apprenticeship program. In 1841, Paulding left office with the change of administrations, returning to literary pursuits and taking up agriculture. He lived near Hyde Park, in Dutchess County. Although much of his literary work consisted of political journalism, he also wrote essays, poems and tales. From his father, an active revolutionary patriot, Paulding inherited strong anti-British sentiments. As a poet, he was gracefully commonplace, yet the only lines which survive in popular memory are the familiar, ‘Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Where is the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?’, from ‘Koningsmarke’. In 1920, the USS James K. Paulding was named in his honor.
This is such a beautiful and unique stone! I'm unsure the symbolism behind the shapes but if anyone knows please comment below. #cemeterywandering #cemeteriesofinstagram #cemetery #graveyardgal #graveyard #gravestones #hallowedground #tapophile #Cemetery #cemeteryphotography

A Monumental Artist James McDougal Hart (1828-1901) Section 90 Lot 3037 James McDougal Hart was a Scottish-born American landscape and cattle painter of the Hudson River School. Hart was born in Kilmarnock, Scotland, and taken to America with his family in early youth. His older brother, William Hart, was also a Hudson River School artist, as were his younger sister Julie Hart Beers and his two daughters. In Albany, New York, Hart trained with a sign and carriage maker. James later returned to Europe for serious artistic training, studying in Munich and as a pupil of Friedrich Wilhelm Schirmer at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. In 1853, Hart returned to America. He exhibited his first work at the National Academy of Design in 1848 and became an associate in 1857 and a full member in 1859. He was particularly devoted to the National Academy, exhibiting there for more than 40 years and serving as vice president late in his life from 1895 to 1899. Like his brother William, James also exhibited at the Brooklyn Art Association and major exhibitions around the country. Along with most major landscape artists of the time, Hart based his operations in New York City and adopted the style of the Hudson River School. While he and his brother William often painted similar landscape subjects, James could be more inclined to paint larger works. An example is The Old Homestead (1862), 42 x 68 inches, in the collection of the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia. Like his brother William, James excelled at painting cattle. Kevin J. Avery wrote, “the bovine subjects that once distinguished [his works] now seem the embodiment of Hart’s artistic complacency.” In contrast, his major landscape paintings are considered important works of the Hudson River School. A particularly fine example is Summer in the Catskills, now in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Spain. Hart’s works are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the New York State Historical Assocation, the Corcoran Gallery, and Vassar College. Fittingly, Hart’s monument features a cow and the words, “He taketh me to lie down in green pastures”.

A Monumental Academic Dr James Brander Matthews (1852-1929) Memorial ID 42004154 James Brander Matthews was an American academic, writer and literary critic. He was the first full-time professor of dramatic literature at Columbia University in New York and played a significant role in establishing theater as a subject worthy of formal study. Matthews was born to a wealthy family in New Orleans and grew up in New York City. He attended Columbia College, graduating from Columbia Law School in 1873. However, he had little interest in law and never really needed to work. When his father later went bankrupt and lost the family fortune, his mother’s money provided him with a comfortable living. Matthews began a literary career, writing novels, plays, short stories, books about drama, and biographies of actors during the 1880s and 1890. He wrote three books of sketches of city life. One of these, Vignettes of Manhattan (1894), he dedicated to his friend Theodore Roosevelt. Matthews was a prolific and varied writer, authoring more than thirty books, but his works are undistinguished and long forgotten. From 1892 to 1900, Matthews was a professor of literature at Columbia, becoming professor of Dramatic Literature until his retirement in 1924. He was known as an engaging lecturer and a charismatic, if demanding, teacher. His influence was such that a popular pun claimed that an entire generation had been “brandered by the same Matthews.” Matthews was the inspiration for the now-destroyed Brander Matthews Theater on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and an English professorship with his name still exists at Columbia University. In 1907, the French government decorated him with the Legion of Honor for his services in promoting the cause of French drama. Matthews was friends with many notable men, including Robert Louis Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling, Mark Twain, and Theodore Roosevelt. Matthews’ correspondence with Roosevelt, from the 1880s through the White House years, was published posthumously. Five years after his retirement, Matthews passed away in New York City.

A Monumental Bachelor Warren Ritch Payne (1841-1908) Section 157 Lot 16948 Warren Payne was the son of a California gold rush pioneer and, in his day, considered one of San Francisco’s best dressed men. From the San Francisco Call, July 30, 1908: “WARREN PAYNE DIES AT HIS CITY HOME “Leaves Big Estate and Provides in Will Against Possibility of ‘Wife’ “Popular Bachelor Was Considered Best Dressed Man in San Francisco “Warren Payne, who was considered a decade ago the best dressed man on the streets of San Francisco and would have been an imposing figure anywhere, died yesterday at his home, 908 Ashbury Street, in his 65th year. “Clubman and capitalist, the deceased died a bachelor, silencing what whispers of romance might have hovered about his name with the adamantine proviso in his Will that ‘any one claiming to be my wife shall receive but one dollar from my estate.’ “Warren Payne was a son of Theodore Payne, a forty-niner who amassed a fortune in San Francisco as an auctioneer and businessman. His brother, Theodore Payne Jr., died less than a year ago at his country home at San Mateo, leaving a large estate. The wealth of Warren Payne is accounted between a half million and a million of dollars, but exact valuation is difficult, as the two brothers, during their lifetime, joined their interests. “Warren Payne was popular in clubdom and belonged to the Bohemian Club, the Press club, the Cosmos club, the Society of California Pioneers, the Merchants’ Association, California Knights Templar, the Mystic Shrine and other Masonic organizations…The remains will be cremated and the ashes sent east [for interment at Green-Wood]. “Mrs. Irene Talbot, with whom Payne boarded at 908 Ashbury Street, denied last evening that there was the slightest grounds for any report that Payne was married. ‘If any one should come up claiming to be his widow she will be disappointed, for the will provides that such a claimant shall receive but one dollar,’ said Mrs. Talbot…” “It is understood that the estate will be divided among collateral heirs. There are no near relatives surviving.”

A Monumental Social Leader Amory Sibley Carhart (1851-1912) Section 28 Lot 8082 Amory Carhart was a leading figure in Brooklyn and Manhattan society during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, March 21, 1912: “AMORY S. CARHART’S FUNERAL “Services Held Today for Former Leader of Brooklyn Society. “At 10 o’clock this morning at St. Bartholomew’s Church, Manhattan, occurred the funeral of one of the most noted of the former social leaders of Brooklyn, Amory Sibley Carhart. Mr. Carhart died on Monday, after an illness of some months, which developed seriously about ten days ago. He had made his home in Manhattan, with a country place at Tuxedo, for nearly twenty years, and was very prominent in what is known as the Tuxedo set. “Few Brooklynites who have gone to live in Manhattan have attained such important social standing. He married Miss Marion Brookman, daughter of the late Henry D. Brookman of Remsen street, and one of the Heights belles of her day. “Though a man of large means and with many big financial interests, Mr. Carhart had not been in active business for many years. He was a son of the late George B. Carhart, who was one of the men who founded the New York Cotton Exchange, and also was at one period president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad and the Bank of the Republic. “The family had one of the handsome and spacious ‘river’ residences on Columbia Heights. For twenty years Mr. Carhart was one of the first of the younger Heights men in social life. In a sense he was practically its ‘arbiter elegantarium’ for a long time, though he never put himself forward as a social ruler. “Upon his marriage he became a Manhattanite, although he never discontinued his Brooklyn financial interests. Amory Carhart was a club man in the exact sense. He belonged to the Union, Knickerbocker, Badminton and the Automobile Club of America, among others. He was one of the originators of the Fencers Club of New York, and stood very high in the councils of the military orders of Foreign Wars of the United States and the Society of Colonial Wars. The French Government decorated him some years ago.”

A Monumental Steamboat Man David S. Paige (1814-1899) Section 111 Lot 16270 David Stinson Paige was the President of the Fort Lee Park and Steamboat Company. From “Appleton’s Dictionary of New York and Its Vicinity”, published in 1879: “Since the enormous success attained by similar enterprises at the Coney Island Beach, a stock company called the ‘Fort Lee Park and Steamboat Company’ have bought up 40 acres of land, and built a fine hotel on the [Fort Lee] bluff, and a pavilion at the steamboat landing, at a cost of nearly $250,000. “The hotel is a fine structure, similar in design to those at Coney Island, and is well kept. The prices in the restaurant are extremely moderate, the food well cooked, and the wines of good quality. The restaurant will accommodate 2,500 persons at one time, and a charming view of the river may be had from the windows of the hotel and the adjoining balconies… “Upon the bluff beyond the hotel is a large and pleasantly shaded park, in which a merry-go-round, shooting gallery, and various gambling games, carried on by ‘fakirs’ as they are called, are offered as attractions. In front of the hotel, a band of music discourses popular airs during the afternoon and evening. Good boating is to be had, and also still-water bathing in a commodious bathing house.” However, initial reviews of the transportation provided were less complimentary: “These boats are small, and are almost invariably on Sundays and holidays dangerously overcrowded. The time table is a delusion and a snare, and the disregard of comfort and safety on the part of the company is equally criminal and indecent. Persons are frequently obliged to remain for hours waiting for an opportunity to obtain standing room on these boats, and the entire service is entirely inadequate. So charming are the surroundings, and so well kept is the hotel, that it is to be hoped that are long this state of affairs will be remedied.” The company operated for many years after this review, so presumably Paige solved his transportation problems to everyone’s satisfaction.
