Harry Hooper is buried a short walk from my house, this thread inspired me to visit over the weekend. Buried in a small cemetery with his wife and 3 family member, Mr. Hooper was a fixture in this community for many years.

Cool thread.

The only player I ever took the time to track down was Edd Roush. He's buried in his hometown of Oakland City, Indiana which is about a 50 minute drive from the town I grew up in.

Thanks! I forgot Christy Mathewson on my list since I already seen someone post a photo of his grave.

My Mom's family is from Lewistown and Factoryville Pa. On my last two trips up that way (both for funerals), I had hopes of getting down the road to Lewisburg and seeing Matty's grave. Didn't find the time on either trip. No one up there to visit anymore so I doubt I'll get the chance now.
