Havana burial ground shocks writer with stark details
Wm I Derpen describes Havana Christobal Colon cemetery to the Bryan Eagle. He notes fortifications, vaults, a catacomb with hundreds of decaying remains, a lime-sprinkled morgue and a “bone yard” chasm. He calls the savings-bank style crypt rents cruel and recalls 176 Maine victims in a 24 by 24 foot grave.
