From their web page for the event:
Laurel Hill East has brave military heroes, uplifting reformers, and selfless philanthropists. But what about the less-than-pure spirits? The South Philly gangster who got whacked when he tried to infiltrate the Schuylkill County numbers racket? The female grifter who conned New York City and then sipped strychnine while a dozen bill collectors tried to batter down her door? The Civil War general besmirched as “a slayer of innocence and a robber of chastity”? (No, it’s not George Gordon Meade.) The final resting places of these troubled souls show Laurel Hill East’s scandalous, sinful, and sordid side.This event will sell out super fast, so you'll want to buy your ticket ASAP at https://laurelhillphl.com/event/sinners-scandals-1026/
