"Another “permanent resident” of Green-Wood Cemetery with an interesting life that contributes to our American history. Wikipedia notes: William H. West (June 18, 1853 – February 15, 1902) was an American blackface performer, known as the "Progressive Minstrel". He was one of the first white owners of a minstrel troupe composed of black performers in the United States."
