Burial place mystery

There seems to be some degree of mystery surrounding the burial place of Robert Henri. Find a Grave places him at Swan Point Cemetery in Providence, RI. This is backed up by the Swan Point database. Even more interesting, the database lists a burial for Richard Lee in the same plot (plot 355). "Richard Lee" is the alias used by Henri's father. Teresa Lee (d 1923) is also listed in Plot 355. Since I live near the cemetery, I took a trip to Plot 355. It's pretty unambiguous ... the plot is occupied by a completely different family. There are no Cozads, Henris or Lees in the plot. None of the dates match up, either.

The only citation I can find for Henri is the New York Times obituary from the time of his death,^[1] which says he was buried in the family plot in Philadelphia.

According to an AP article from 1957, Henri's father "Lee-Cozad died (with his boots off of pneumonia) in New York City in 1906. He was buried in Pleasantville, NJ. Later his remains were disinterred and reburied in Providence, RI." ^[2] I don't know what the connection is between the family and Providence, but it seems possible that his remains were transferred, perhaps by friends in Providence, and buried in the plot without markers. However, without a grave marker, I'm not sure what to put in the article. - Kzirkel (talk) 15:39, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

birth date

Most sources, except Find a Grave, give his birth date as June 25, 1865
What's the reference for June 24? Thisdaytrivia (talk) 00:33, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What sources give it as June 25? You can see the many books that support June 24 in just a simple Google Books search.[1] postdlf (talk) 00:45, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I do see now some sources give it as June 25...[2] Thanks for raising the issue. Definitely worth the time for someone to research who can consult the hard copies of these books, figure out which are authoritative and which ones might just be repeating the same error. postdlf (talk) 00:49, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
