Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, NY-- Part 1: President Millard Fillmore
I have been doing a lot of writing about War of 1812 soldier and West Point graduate Alexander John Williams who is buried here. Whenever I have a place of burial, I like to go to the cemetery and look at the names of other people buried there.
And, Forest Lawn cemetery has a lot of interesting burials.
From Wikipedia.
Red Jacket-- Seneca Indian Chief who sided with U.S, during the War of 1812.
