Additional Details:
The most interesting of New Orleans historic burial places, the St. Louis Cemetery No. 1—there are three—has been in use for 175 years, with some of the inscriptions still decipherable dated 1800. Here lie the bodies of Paul Morphy, the famous chess player; Gayarre, the historian; Étienne de Bore, who first made granulated sugar; Charles La Salle, brother of the famous explorer.
