Wickham C. Powell
When I first paid a visited to the resting place of Wickham C. Powell in 2006, I found it near the fence line of the cemetery on Ford Hamilton Parkway side. There, near an old tree, stood a single marker on Lot 25589, Section 203. Since then the tree, which was uprooted by the Superstorm Sandy, has been removed, but fortunately, the little marble marker withstood the fierce ravages of nature.
