19th-century pioneer of the women's rights movement.
I didn't know it at the time, but not too far away is the grave of George Spencer Millet, who died a bizarre and tragic death on February 15, 1909, the day he turned 15 years old. According to his headstone:
LOST LIFE BY STAB IN FALLING ON
INK ERASER, EVADING SIX YOUNG
WOMEN TRYING TO GIVE HIM
BIRTHDAY KISSES IN OFFICE
METROPOLITAN LIFE BUILDING
Day 489
Elizabeth Cady Stanton

I am so very glad you spent your considerable time wandering this cemetery; what a wonderful collection of sculptures, thoughts, memories, people–none of it know by those of us in the provinces.
What the heck is an ink eraser? More importantly why would he be running from six young women wanting to kiss him?
How sad, too young to die, and he died on his birthday! When you look up ink erasers on wiki, his story is there but he’s not identified .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ink_eraser
