Default ???? on shared Gravesite

Jon,
I wondered the same thing on who the other 2 were on the headstone????
Those two would be gone by now as well, so I do wonder where they were buried?

John, Thanks!

Jay, I have been to Gettysburg twice and my favorite place to eat was Gettysburg Eddies..... Great food and atmosphere. I never thought of this idea before when I visited, so I will need to go back and visit his gravesite the next time. Of course, I will have to make a photocopy of his T206 to keep up my new hobby because I certainly can't afford a T206 Plank!

Tim the restaurant Gettysburg Eddies faces the soldiers cemetery across the street
Farther back is Evergreen cemetery where the civilians like Plank are buried.

Across from Gettysburg college is a house that Eddie owned w/ the PA historical marker.
& down the road a bit is another marker of Eddie's car dealership

Default Find A Grave

Frank.....
I have lots of relatives with "large ass" burial sites...... LOL, kidding of course.

But for real, according to findagrave.com, Buck Herzog is buried in Denton Cemetery in Denton, Maryland.

Jay, thanks for the tips on my next visit to Gettysburg.

Cool thread. Following the Baltimore National in 2012 I deked up to Gettysburg and was the beneficiary of an amazing battlefield tour conducted by the immortal Jay Wolt and was treated by same to a burger and a Dr Pepper at good ol' Gettysburg Eddie's. From there I shot up to Lewisburg with the goal of seeing Christy Mathewson's grave at the cemetery hard by the Bucknell campus. Poked around the school and the town, my imagination in overdrive at the idea of Matty traipsing about the environs a century prior. One of my best baseball adventures ever.

Unbeknownst to me at the time, Moose McCormick, Big Six's contemporary at Bucknell, teammate on the NY Giants and a fellow T206er, also is buried in the Lewisburg Cemetery.
