James Weldon Johnson by Carl Van Vechten.
'JOHNSON
JAMES WELDON
1871–1938
GRACE NAIL
1885–1976'
So there we have it, the grave of James Weldon Johnson, with his wife Grace in the Nail plot. By far the most significant writer in Green-Wood Cemetery but not mentioned on the cemetery's map. And the Jeffrey I. Richman map of the same just lists the pulp novelist Laura Jean Libbey and, as it says, James Kirke Paulding of 'Peter Piper Picked a Peck' fame. Omissions of deafening silence.
