- linden09071997.htm quote "The cost of the crypt was $4,000 -- not an insubstantial amount, considering Whitman's house in Camden was worth $1,750. On the day of the poet's funeral in March 1892, his body was taken by carriage two miles from his home at 328 Mickle Blvd. to Harleigh Cemetery, where 4,000 people gathered for a jubilant celebration of his life. The abandoned building across from Harleigh Cemetery seems to represent most of Camden: cement, quiet and somewhat desolate. However, the cemetery -- by Camden standards -- is tempting. At first glance, Harleigh -- oddly enough, seeing that it's a cemetery -- is surprisingly alive. The grass, although uneven, is green, and many of the trees are full and robust. Two birch trees near Whitman's crypt provide ample shade from the sun as Neil and I begin our work under a summer-blue sky.".
