Photos of John Matthew's grave
John Matthews is the Brit who brought to New York the secrets of mass producing seltzer, inaugurating the industrial age of carbonated water.
I had heard that he was buried in Brooklyn's famous Greenwood Cemetery and that the site was decorated with some etchings related to seltzer production.
This fall I finally made a visit and learned two things:
- his tomb is tremendous!
- I could not identify anything remotely resembling seltzer manufacturing (if you can, please let me know)
It was immensely fascinating for a tomb, even if I was not already interested in the man, and I had a great time checking it out.
