I’ve been grave hunting roughly 11 years now… Aside from taking breaks from the hobby due to bordem among other things here is a brief summary of the famous and/or infamous grave sites I’ve been too… Most of my grave hunting has taken place in and around the metro Detroit and Chicago areas.
Detroit:
Bernard Stroh: Stroh Beer
George Peppard: Actor (A-Team, Breakfast at Tiffanie’s)
Joseph Campau: Early Detroit Settler
Dodge Brothers: Automobiles
Florence Ballard: Musician
David Ruffian: Musician
Frank Nastasi: Actor (Soupy Sales)
James Vernor: Inventor of Vernor’s Ginger Ale
Chicago:
Al Capone (Gangster)
Dean O’Banion (Gangster)
Marshall Field (Department Store Founder)
etc
This is not a complete list… Most of my grave hunting experience is based around the Detroit area granted it all started when I found Al Capone’s grave site in Chicago. I have future plans and desires to make it out west to Southern California… To be in every grave hunters dream come true and go trekking into the cemeteries of Hollywood, and yesteryear and hunt down the grave sites of Rudolf Valentino, Mickey Cohen, Marilyn Monroe, among others… One can only hope…
