Berlin Wall
Shanna Riley March 28th, 2007
Even after showing them the photos, few people believe me when I tell them I found a grave for Berlin Wall. It's quite true, however. His wife, Marguerite Wall, is buried in the vault next to him in an indoor mausoleum in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
It's an interesting name, to be sure. Mr. Wall was born in 1905 - when there was no Berlin Wall. Whether his parents had some sort of strange premonition is an entertaining thought, but I do believe it's mere coincidence that Mr. Wall was named for the infamous wall that went up in 1961.
I've seen some very unique and interesting names in my cemetery travels, but this is definitely one of the best. I'll bet Mr. Berlin was quite a character!
