Norton's Grave

We went looking for Emperor Norton's Grave. It was pretty easy to find.

We went to Woodlawn Cemetery in Colma. The nice people at the office gave me a map so I could find Emperor Norton's Grave. I think they get this question a lot. We found a few other things along the way. There was some other royalty nearby.

Here it is...the headstone that's supposed to mark Emperor Norton's final resting place. This headstone was different. It stood out from the others.

"Money" and "Harm" were buried near each other. I took this picture because we liked the engraving on the stone. I gues this is a recent grave...or an about-to-be grave. The wooden marker seems a bit fragile for a place of eternal rest.

To me, this looks like they got their own lawn bowling site for the afterlife.
