As has been discussed, Port Jervis as a city has been celebrating its 100 
year anniversary as a city. The August 3 edition of the Union Gazette 
contained an Article on Laurel Grove cemetery and has been running a series 
of  articles regarding noted people buried there. The August 3 had a picture 
of the grave stone and a 1909 obituary from the NY Times for veteran Erie 
railroader Charles W Douglas. Attached is a scan of the picture and 
obituary. Mr. Douglas is identified as the first man to take telegraph 
messages by sound.
