Poe Shaft Planned in Baltimore amid Debate over Burial Site
The Northwest Notes column reviews Baltimore's plan to raise a $20,000 shaft honoring Edgar Allan Poe as as city and Municipal Art Society supporters face stiff opposition to moving Poe's grave from Westminster Churchyard. It recounts public sentiment, Poe family views, and related memorial efforts including endowments for Poe's death room and the Washington hospital, while noting nearby graves of Sidney Lanier and John Wilkes Booth.
