Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

4 pp, 8 ½ x 14, deed to lot 132 at the historic Ivandell Cemetery, September 20th, 1880, belonging to BENJAMIN F. BROWN (1799-1881), who, along with his brother, Herchel, operated the Royal Pavilion Circus, which traveled to different parts of the country performing circus acts. The lot was large enough for 12 graves. Ivandell Cemetery is an historic burial ground located in Somers, NY, formed in 1866 by leading members of the Somers community who purchased a seven-acre plot of land next to two existing burial grounds surrounding the Union Meeting Church on Somerstown Road. Ivandell Cemetery is also recognized for the notable people buried here, including military heroes. One monument honors Hachaliah Brown (1822-1853), an officer in the 3rd Artillery Regiment who served in the Mexican-American War. He died while on active service. Another recognizes Hachaliah Bailey (1774-1845). Bailey, whose name is often associated with Somers and its history, started a successful menagerie business and was responsible for importing "Old Bet," the second African elephant of her kind to arrive in the United States. Bailey was originally interred behind the Union Meeting House; his remains were later moved to the Ivandell Cemetery. His monument in the cemetery has a statue of Old Bet on it. One of the earliest interments in Ivandell Cemetery was that of John Hempstead (1693-1801). Hempstead, one of Westchester County’s first centenarians, was buried in the area next to the Union Meeting Church. Although there is a record of the text and dates engraved on his tombstone, the marker itself can no longer be found in the cemetery. There are a number of large monuments and memorials within Ivandell Cemetery, including many that stand on what had once been part of the Union Meeting Burying Ground and the Public Burying Ground. One is a fifteen-foot granite monument that was erected in 1865 by the Ladies’ Soldiers’ Aid Society to honor the 25 men of Somers who gave their lives during the Civil War. The deed is in excellent condition with normal folds. Everything we sell is guaranteed authentic forever to the original buyer. We also offer a 30-day return policy.
