Wow there was barely Anything out here back then.
I don’t know much about the history of the island before I was born but I am curious now to know which cemeteries were already existing.
I have an idea of which ones were.
My pop is buried at one here and he died in ‘82.
I shall go find out as it has me curious.
Cool. I kind of forgot about those days.
The only other times I passed through S.I. were when my Dad decided to visit my mother’s family in Brooklyn by going south through Elizabeth over the Goethals Bridge, driving through Staten Island, and over the Verrazano. He wanted to see the bridge. The usual, and shorter route, was through the Holland Tunnel into lower Manhattan. I don’t remember it all that well.
Oops. I looked for you but didn’t see you!
Can you imagine how he would have laughed at hearing of the hardships that the average American is going through right now ?
