Joseph C. Yates died on March 19th, 1837 at the age of 69. His exact burial location in Schenectady, New York, or even in the whole of New York State, remains unknown to this day. It is rumored that he was buried either in Vale Cemetery or one of the many plots that surround Saint George's Church in the Stockade. Since Vale Cemetery was created after his death it is unlikely that he is buried there. Saint George's Church was often considered the meeting place for secret fraternal societies. It is very possible that Yates, being a man ...

His political ambitions remained unfulfilled, because he died prematurely at the age of forty-four. Although the cause of death has been commonly attributed to an abscess created by a blow on the head by a cricket ball or a tennis ball, this story is apocryphal - in fact, a burst abscess in the lung was given as the cause of death. Frederick died at Leicester House in London and he was buried at Westminster Abbey. The full epigram: "Here lies poor Fred who was alive and is dead, Had it been his father I had much rat ...

Chronology of Jesus - Year of death. The understanding of the Gospels is difficult to reconcile with the tradition that holds the Last Supper took place on the first night of Passover, which is defined in the Torah as occurring on the 14th of Nisan. Furthermore, at that time, the date of Passover was set by the court in Jerusalem based upon testimony of witnesses. It was not until AD 500 that the calendar was changed to base the holiday's date on calculation. Therefore, it is not possible to state on which day of the week the 14 of Nisan occurred for any year before 500 without historical documents ...
