Found this on a search for Alex today (Nov, 11 - Remembrance Day, 2009)..thank you for posting it on your site.
My great uncle Alex (born in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia) fought and survived the battle of Vimy Ridge in WW1. From there he went on to another minor skirmish a few weeks later and was wounded and sent to London to recover. Once recovered, they didn't send him to the front lines again, they made him a Sgt Major, (Drill Sargent) in England until the end of the war. It was after the war he moved to New York with his wife, (a nurse) and she worked while he attended Columbia University where he attained his Mechanical Engineering degree. From there he gained employment with a company called Combustion Engineering Superheater Inc...a company that over time became The ABB Group.
This is an example of some of his work:

Parade Photo
If I'm right, this is actually taken in Hudson Falls, NY. That might be the Schuyler Hose Fire Company marching. I don't see any instruments so I doubt this is a musical unit but the banner does say Schuylerville. Great shot!

aha, no, i did not make a point of connecting these faces to their names. many of the stones were unreadable to begin with but i intentionally avoided documenting the identities. i was going for a tableau, a wall of anonymity that characterizes the cemetery to most visitors, and a wall of anonymous people whose faces fill a style of portraiture that i happen to love. this page is not so much about the gravestone context as the style of portraiture. a few months after i started in to this project i was chagrined, but ultimately not surprised, to learn that others had already focused on this style of tombstone portraits. john yang did it best in his mount zion series while ronald william horne had a different approach focusing on the stories behind the faces. look for the book "forgotten faces" by ronald william horne if you can find it, it's a well done survey of this style of grave portraits in california, with a lot of research into who the people were. john yang's book (which i like better) is called...

The Daly marker seen in the film is at Section 1W, Range 18, Plot P, Grave #17, and Corleone would have been buried right behind that. So, the location is probably that or the adjacent Section 1W, Range 18, Plot N -- or something thereabouts. There are no markers where the Corleone burial would have been so you'd need the detailed cemetery map to deduce a precise grave # location-- and even at that you'd have to guess a little, since the open grave is never shown in the film.

Map of Don Corleone's grave location
Any chance you would know what the plot number of Don Corleone's 'grave' location? I see from the map it is between 43 and 39? My parents are located in Section 1 West Plot 41, I always thought the funeral scene in the Godfather was familiar.Thanks to your website,I know for sure it's close to where they did the scene. I live in Canada now, so I can't check out the cemetery myself to figure out how close my family's gravesite is to the Don's. Thanks
