Today since it was so nice outside I decided to hit the cemeteries it was a spur of the moment decision. Anyway I went over to Resurrection cemetery again located over on Clinton River Rd in Clinton Township. At Resurrection I tracked down the grave site of Detroit mafia figure Vincent Meli who died in 2008 of natural causes I believe. After tracking down his grave site I then headed over to the other side of town to Holy Sepulcher cemetery on 10 Mile Rd between Telegraph and Inkster roads.

At Holy Sepulcher I was about to track down the grave sites of Anthony D’Anna who was a gangster here in Detroit during the 1920s he was affiliated with the Gianolla brothers who died in the 1980s. Also at Holy Sepulcher I tracked down the grave site of Jay Sebring also known as Thomas J. Kummer. He was a well-known Hollywood hair stylist to the stars, make-up artist, and he also had his own hair care products line. Anyway he was one of the Manson Family victims who was murdered in 1969 along with Sharon Tate, and several others in what was to be known as Helter Skelter.

In other news yesterday I ordered two books. I ordered “Resting Places: The Burial Sites of over 10,000 Famous Persons” by Scott Wilson this book is the most expensive book I’ve purchased not including college textbooks. The other book I purchased was “LA’s Graveside Companion” by my friend Steve Goldstein who knows his stuff about celebrity grave sites in Hollywood. The Wilson book I ordered from the publisher, and Goldstein’s book I ordered from Amazon.
