I drove by the Elmira sign and saw Mark Twain, Hal Roach and Ernie Davis. Looked it up and saw they were buried there but Twain's wife, Roach and Davis were born there too. I laughed my head off at Hal Roach's resting place not out of disrespect but out of my love of the Little Rascals. I played 'call me chubsey ubsey' on the phone and 'this may have choked Artie but this artie-choke won't be choking no Stymie'. Mr. Roach; my father who is in his mid 80's and I, in my early 60's still watch the shorts on youtube and crack up laughing. You made a classic that stands with the Star Trek, Three Stooges and Twilight Zone.

Went to see the final resting place of Samuel Clemens AKA Mark Twain. Easy to find from the main entrance - signage is excellent. Lovely statuary/memorials. Closed on weekends.

Stopped to see Mark Twain and Ernie Davis's burial locations. Very respectful and educational to visit. Cemetery was easy to navigate to find both locations. Well maintained and kept.

Went here to find Mark Twain's grave. Even though they close at 5 o'clock the gates were open, so we felt free to still go in. There were very good directions and signs posted so we could find the grave without any problems.

Woodlawn is a very pretty cemetery. I was particularly interested to see Mark Twain’s grave. He fell in love with a lady from Elmira, so they also had a home here in Elmira. His family and her family are all buried together in one large plot. It is easy to find inside the cemetery. If you love history and writers as I do, this is truly a must stop!
