The plaque notably recognizes burials and includes Capt. John Underhill. Unfortunately, the plaque is incorrect because Capt. John is buried in the Underhill Burying Ground in Lattingtown. There is a large obeliskthat marks his burial site there.
The lesser seen sides of the Octagon Hotel were visible, just in the distance. The first week upon arriving in Oyster Bay I began work on its preservation.

I was fortunate to be invited to staywith the Clark family. What I was struck by was the evidence of extensive gardens. While mostly gone today, it does not take much to imagine their former grandeur.
During my visit to the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center, I visited the birds of prey enclosureone last time. On top of the hill in the distance is the gravesite of President Theodore Roosevelt.
Acenotaph for Dr. John Gable was at the Youngs Memorial Cemetery. Gable was a respected executive director of the Theodore Roosevelt Association. It was fitting to have this marker recognizing him here.
The funeral of Theodore Roosevelt occurred here on January 8, 1919. The funeral cortege proceeded up steep steps to his final place/" class="glossaryLink" data-cmtooltip="220319b82d3c5c5858b458254dc2dbde" target="_blank" >resting place on the hill overlooking the bay.
