Hayne has created great deal of
comment among the old timers who
knew the great actress during her life
time. Phil Margetts contributes the
following, which settles the disputed
question about the date Of her death,
and shows the New York Mirror cor
respondent to have been in error in one
material point, Whether he was not
mistaken in others is a question well
worth clearing up:
Mr.. Margetts writes: In the Music
and Drama column published in The
Herald last Sunday "Marge" says she
was startled by an item from the New
Y DIRK Mirror which stated that the long
forgotten burial place of the Iamented
julia Dean Hayne had been discovered
in an obscure cemetery in Port Jarvis.
New York. "Marge" further says: I
was startled for two reasons. One was
that the great actress resting place
shculd have been found at last. An
other was that the record accompany
ing gave the date of her death as May
10, 1866. Now, if Dear HaFs' friend
had only enquired of the undersigned,
there would have been no necessity to
appeal to the Mirror for a clearing up
of the mystery. The following slipped
from q New York paper published in
1858, and Which has been in my scrap
book for many years, will, I think.
throw some light on the subject, and
settle ell disputes as to when the great
actress-for she was great--died, and
where and how, she was buried.
