I was able to locate the exact burial spot of Professor Charles
Hadley in Fairmount Cemetery in Spokane, Washington. I'd love to
get him a stone or marker of some sort. Thinking of buying one
also for Oscar Gardner in Minneapolis. See note below from
Fairmount Cemetery and attached picture they sent, which was
nice of them to literally mark off with blue flags the exact
spot he is located.
Thank you for the story behind Mr. Charles Hadley, very
interesting. I did locate him at Fairmount Memorial Park. He is
buried in space #101 – Lot O – Lawn 15. I asked grounds to take
a picture of his grave but unfortunately, there is no marker.
Please see the attached Picture. My grounds crew put blue flags
around the site for you to see.
