Foster monuments sought for Pittsburgh composer's neglected grave
A Pittsburgh driven drive aims to raise a national fund for a monument to Stephen Collins Foster, famed author of Old Folks at Home and My Old Kentucky Home. Foster, born in 1826, died in New York but rests in Allegheny Cemetery, where his grave is now neglected and marked by limited attention from passersby. The plan includes unveiling the monument in a Pittsburgh park on July 4, 1897, tying it to Foster's birthday and Independence Day.
