The grave of Lue Gim Gong was unmarked for about five
years until a member of the New York State Historical
Society came to DeLand, found the unmarked site and,
after returning to New York, collected sufficient funds
for the present marker. In 1999, Mrs. Hawtense Conrad
donated $3,500 for placement of the new head stone that
incorporates the original marker.
The
West Volusia Historical Society invites you
to visit Lue Gim Gong's grave located in Oakdale Cemetery.
Enter the cemetery from the east gate and bear left
to the southwest corner where the grave is located.
