Why Staten Island?
Did any Vanderbilt’s live there?
They had ties to Long Island, I would understand a Vanderbilt plot there but does anyone know why they chose this location??

Greg & Art, the incident on Steamboat Rd. GN , the cross burning, took place at the now area called Park Circle,  a development of homes just about 100yds west off of Steamboat Rd. according to my Mom , my Grandfather had his farm at # 56 Steamboat Rd. The area was quite undeveloped at that time. I’d be interested in finding where the klan HQ’s were as I lived there till 1962 an knew many of the residents

An account of the incident Robert and Greg noted.  One newspaper elected not to mention it while the Record (Great Neck?) ran it as a front page story.  Not yet able to track down an on-line edition.  And two articles from 1921 and 1931 showing KKK “mainstream” activities on Long Island.

One family member (Elliott F. Shepard) originally entombed in the mausoleum was moved in 1894 once the Shepard family tomb was built.  The building of this tomb, and possibly others, might account for the Vanderbilt Mausoleum not containing the original number of family members originally thought to be entombed.

avian That’s the Vanderbilt Mausoleum and Cemetery located at New Dorp, Staten Island, NY. It is adjacent to the Moravian Cemetery. It is the final resting place for members of the Vanderbilt family with that name. Although having spaces for 125, only 28 members of the Vanderbilt family are interred there including Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt and his two wives. The link to Vanderbilt Cup Races is that Willie K. himself is there.
