The Tragedy Of Comet Lodge Cemetery – The Three Links Odd Cast
There's a little corner of South Seattle that has been a burial ground for centuries, starting with the Duwamish Tribe and continuing through years of changing ownership and management. About half of that cemetery is left now, existing as an off-leash dog park. The other half was sold to builders for houses. That's only part of the tragedy of Comet Lodge Cemetery, so named because it was supposedly owned by Comet Lodge #139, located in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood. On this episode, Toby, Ainslie, and Meredith discuss the story of the cemetery, from the razing of the "Garden of Angels" infants burial section to the desecration of headstones to the county running a sewer line directly through part of the property. The Shoutout goes to Star Of Hope Encampment #33 of Illinois In the Odd Podge, Ainslie reviews the huge success of Tuscola's Odd Market, Meredith previews some of the great events happening around the Metroplex, and Toby talks about his visit to the then-impending Testimonial Banquet for Sovereign Grand Master Ron Hanson.
