My one concern is that there seem to be fewer offerings in the form of fall flowers for All Saints' Day this year. Love the cemeteries in the Canal Street area.

This is what i know about him: Jordan Noble served as Andrew Jackson's drummer on the plains of Chalmette in 1815 when he was only 14. It was reportedly his long drum roll that summoned Jackson's troops to arms. He was engaged in four American wars, which he said equaled almost 10 years of service to his country. He lived to be 94 and is buried in one of the wall vaults along Iberville Street (right next to a woman named Marie Laveau - possibly the famous Voodoo Queen). What a great family history!
