Draddy Family Plot at First Calvary

I randomly spotted this marker, which marks the plot of the John G. Draddy family. John G. Draddy was a prosperous and well-known sculptor whose brother, Daniel Draddy, created the Calvary Veterans Memorial. Sources list John Draddy's death year as 1904, but this marker says 1905. Despite the discrepancy this does appear to be the burial location of the same Draddy family of artists responsible for the Civil War Memorial. The words "DRADDY BROS" is commonly seen on other tombstones throughout Calvary, reflecting the Draddy family's livelihood in tombstones and other funerary art. This plot is located at 1W-5-AA-7/8. The Draddy's also built a similar monument on Battle Hill at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn. The monument at Green-Wood has been mostly restored and gives an idea of what the Calvary Civil War Memorial might have looked like before its decades of exposure to the elements. Also located at Calvary, near the mighty Johnston Mausoleum, is a mausoleum that I believe belongs to Maurice J. Power, who is also credited with contributing to the creation of the Calvary Civil War Memorial.
