With an exact date of death (April 10, 1875) it should be easy enough to call the cemetery office and get the exact location of his tomb stone -- if there is one. You know there is another John Wilkes Booth connection at Calvary, which I spotted one day. Check this out: <a href="http://sorabji.com/pictures/cemeteries/Calvary_Cemetery/IMG_0839.JPG.html">James Rowan O'Beirne, whose marker says "employed his Detective force in the successful pursuit of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln."</a> I never heard of Dan Bryant until now, but I’ll keep that in mind when next I go out to Calvary.

The interesting thing about him was that he exchanged gifts with John Wilkes Booth- In 1863 or 1864 he gave Booth a stickpin set in jet black and gold- this pin was removed from Booth's body the night he died and has never been found. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
