Mark Twain's Grave — Woodlawn Cemetery

He predicted it with the precision of a man who'd spent years reading river currents: born under Halley's Comet in 1835, dead the day after it passed closest to the sun in 1910. Woodlawn Cemetery in Elmira holds the whole Clemens family — Twain, his wife Olivia, their children — buried in her family's plot in the city where he spent more than twenty summers writing. He came here for her. He wrote *Huckleberry Finn* here. He stayed, in the end, permanently.
