New York's Sleepy Hollow Cemetery-- Part 1: Just in Time for Halloween

From the Cemetery site,

Last week I wrote about the War of 1812 medallion being stolen from Washington Irving's grave at this cemetery.

  I didn't know they had a cemetery there by that name.

Sleepy Hollow Cemetery is in New York and is the final resting place of numerous historical figures.  One of the better-known is Washington Irving who wrote the famous "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."  The famous church from the story is next door.  The cemetery was listed on the NRHP in 2009.
