About two weeks ago I went over to Mt. Olivet again. The goals for that day were to track down the grave sites of my great grandparents on my father’s side of the family. As well as track down the grave sites of some notables which included an actor in B movie westerns (Tom Tyler) who appeared in such western films as “The Adventures of the Tucson Kid” (1953),  “She Wore A Yellow Ribbon” (1949), among other B westerns.

Another person I found during my visit was James Barrett who was a major league baseball player. He played the game starting in 1899 and ending in the 1920s. He played with the Detroit Tigers, Cincinnati Reds, Boston Red Sox, and Boston Americans. Playing a total of 10 seasons combined. And finally to close that days excursion I found William Cantlon who was a race car driver who was fatally injured  in the 1947 running of the Indianapolis 500.
