Burial Sites: Where are yesterday's religious leaders?
Every Tuesday, I will show a burial site of one of yesterday's religious leaders. Growing up, I enjoyed walking through Valley Grove Cemetery in Milton, IN. Morbid? Sick? Whatever, but grave sites interest me. If you have a specific religious leader you'd like to know about, please give the name in the COMMENTS.

We'll start with a great musician. Frances Crosby, better known as Fanny, was born in southeast New York. Throughout her life she wrote many hymns such as Blessed Assurance and one of my favorites To God be the Glory. At the age of 95 she went home to be "safe in the arms of Jesus."
Fanny Crosby's body was laid to rest in Mountain Grove Cemetry (Bridgeport, CT), which is the same cemetery where one would find a stone for P.T. Barnum of Barnum and Bailey's Circus.
