    1. [NYSUF] The Evergreens Cemetery
    2. Interesting article in today's (Sunday, September 7, 2003) NEWSDAY about the The Evergreens Cemetery: Here are the final resting grounds of jazz great Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Tony Pastor, father of vaudeville, and Joseph DeBragga, the former Republican Party boss from Queens. Here, too, amid the 225 pastoral acres of The Evergreens Cemetery on the Brooklyn-Queens border, lie several lesser-known curiosities. The groundskeepers-turned-historians love to tell about the burial site of unknown African-American Civil War soldiers, which they uncovered on the Queens side. Also, there's the "Grassy Path" cutting through the border, part of a pre-Revolutionary Indian trail they located.
