1. rawagman Posted: September 07, 2006 at 11:13 AM (#2170347)HOF gravehound Mike Frank led a minor visit to the site a few months ago.
I suspect that he was a great player and I wonder whether we will ever compile a good historical record of his play (not to mention those MLEs).
Still based on what we knew, I never saw White as being much different than Frank Grant, nor Bill Monroe much different than either one. All 3 pretty interchangeable.
I would guess there was a lot of discussion of White that may have been lost in the server upgrade.

Gravesites
Work is currently underway to get suitable headstone for Hall of Famers Ray Brown, Sol White and Frank Grant. The graves of Grant and White may present a problem where marking them is concerned due to the fact that both men were buried in paupers graves.
Donations are not needed at this time but may be called for in future issues.

. . . Of the 39 players that appear on both ballots, there are seven for whom we have no information regarding their burial sites. Now at first this may seem like a daunting task, but it is not as hard as it may first sound. We have information as to where all of these players died, only the name of the cemetery is missing.
[Newt Allen, Cincinnati - "taken" by the editor]
John Beckwith, who died in New York, New York, January 5, 1956.
J. Preston (Pete) Hill, who died in Buffalo, New York, November 26, 1951.
Grant Johnson, who died in Buffalo, New York, September 4, 1963.
Dick Lundy, who died in Jacksonville, Florida, January 5, 1962.
Walter (Dobie) Moore, who died in Rome, Georgia, in April of 1963.
Roy Parnell, who died in Terrell, Texas, in June of 1969.

I doubt that the later note above implies all these "missing cemeteries" have been located, with gravesite markers that have been judged appropriate. But I don't know anything more. Contact the SABR committee at http://sabr.org; select "Research".
