I am a resident of Virginia. I have visited Hollywood Cemetary many times with my sister. We are very familiar with the legend surrounding Mr. Poole. However, this article states that he died in 1922. His masoleum has 1913 on it. I was wondering if your historians did their homework correctly. I have pictures of Mr. Poole's tomb if you would like proof of the 1913 recording.


Age at Death?

[edit]

The first sentence says he was born in 1842 and died in 1913, but the last paragraph of the first section says he was 80 when he died. If he was born in 1842 and died in 1913, he would have been 70 or 71 when he died (depending on the month of his death). The third paragraph also says he was a bookkeeper in 1920, which, barring an actual case of vampirism, seems exceedingly unlikely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.89.233.93 (talk) 19:30, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
