eden?
editI don't understand. What is the connection to Eden Cemetery? Staib (talk) 01:57, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- African-American cemeteries around Philadelphia.--evrik (talk) 16:21, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- I know the connection of Eden Hall and African Americans. It was a stop on the Underground Rail Road.Bigjoe5216 (talk) 23:29, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- That seems highly unlikely, as it was not established until 1902!--BillFlis (talk) 12:18, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

- But according to the Knights of Pythias article, the group was restricted to whites until the 1950s. The famous interments listed for Greenwood at Find-A-Grave say nothing about race, but Marie Noe, and presumably her children that she murdered, appears white in a photo I've seen somewhere.--BillFlis (talk) 18:25, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- Right - Greenwood was not historically African-American. The other two on findagrave and many others there were white. --Staib (talk) 01:28, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
BillFlis - If you would like to see the records of the Knights of Pythias Greenwood Cemetery, I have about 200 lbs. (maybe 4 lin. feet) of them that I will be donating to the Historical Society of Frankford. I am a researcher and live one block from Greenwood.Bigjoe5216 (talk) 23:29, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
P.S. In Greenwood's Charter, Constitution and By-laws, no "coloured people" were allowed to be buried there. Today many people of any color or non-color would be caught in there dead or alive.Bigjoe5216 (talk) 23:29, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Ownership, lawsuits, etc
editI think the information that was removed on the lawsuits, etc. belongs in this article rather than on Benjamin Rush and could be done in npov way. Staib (talk) 06:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- I have put some of the facts back that I could verify, in what I hope is a neutral way. I think we can do without the insinuations of wrongdoing, especially by the judge. Good luck in extricating all that stuff intertwined into the Rush article!--BillFlis (talk) 12:57, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- Great - this sounds good for now. Staib (talk) 16:20, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
