SHOT 9/9/13 6:28:21 AM - A weather worn headstone at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, N.Y. Forest Lawn Cemetery was founded in 1849 by Charles E. Clarke. It covers over 269 acres and over 152,000 are buried there. Notable graves include U.S. President Millard Fillmore, singer Rick James, and inventor Lawrence Dale Bell. Forest Lawn is on the National Register of Historic Places. Buffalo is the second most populous city in the state of New York and is located in Western New York on the eastern shores of Lake Erie and at the head of the Niagara River. By 1900, Buffalo was the 8th largest city in the country, and went on to become a major railroad hub, the largest grain-milling center in the country and the home of the largest steel-making operation in the world. The latter part of the 20th Century saw a reversal of fortunes: by the year 1990 the city had fallen back below its 1900 population levels. (Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2013)
