The August 3 edition of the Union Gazette contained an Article on Laurel Grove cemetery and has been running a series of articles regarding noted people buried there. The August 3 had a picture of the grave stone and a 1909 obituary from the NY Times for veteran Erie railroader Charles W Douglas. Attached is a scan of the picture and obituary. Mr. Douglas is identified as the first man to take telegraph messages by sound.
