The churchyard of St. Peter's Church in
Philadelphia contains the remains of George
Dallas, a former vice president and U.S.
senator. He also served as the mayor
of Philadelphia from 1828 to 1829.
My visit to Dallas' burial site in
June 2013 left me, at the time,
with only one unvisited vice
presidential grave remaining:
Hubert Humphrey's.
