Trinity Church

I was listening to the music from the broadway show "Hamilton" and there was a reference to Hamilton (or his wife) being buried at Trinity Church.  As it stands, I walk past that Church almost daily in my photo walks and have taken photos in the cemetery on the northern side of the Church.  

I went back to take a closer look to see if I could find the grave.  After revisiting my familiar grounds on the north side, heading in through the gates below, I viewed the footbridge over to the building across Church Street where the American Stock Exchange used to sit.

I had never visited the south cemetery though and found my target.  The last resting spot of Mr. Hamilton and his wife was on an elevated section of the cemetery just across the street from a bargain shoe store.
