Norman “Chubby” Chaney

BALTIMORE (AP) — Fans of the "Little Rascals" film series were in Baltimore this 
past weekend to place a headstone at the grave of child actor Norman "Chubby"
Chaney.

Chaney’s grave had been unmarked for 76 years since he died at age 21. He
was paid a weekly salary when he appeared in the films between 1929 and 1931, 
but didn’t receive any royalties or residual payments and returned to Baltimore
when he grew out of the role. The Baltimore Sun reported Sunday that he
struggled with his weight as a teenager. When he died, his mother couldn’t
afford a headstone for his grave.

The series was known as "Our Gang" when it was shown in theaters and later
as the "Little Rascals" on television.

Presley was entombed during funeral services on August 18, 1977 in
Memphis, Tenn..

Florists’ Transworld Delivery (FTD) reported that in one day the number of orders
for flowers to be delivered to Graceland had surpassed the number for any other
event in the company’s history.

 
Buddy’s headstone carries the correct spelling of his name

Buddy Holly’s funeral service was held at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Lubbock, 
Texas on Saturday, February 7, 1959. Over a thousand mourners attended. His body 
was buried in the city of Lubbock cemetery.

On Feb 2, 1959, Buddy Holly along with Ritchie Valens and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson had just performed at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. Shortly
after midnight, the three rock stars left in a chartered plane that crashed soon
after take off, killing the stars and the pilot, Roger Peterson.

The above statue of Buddy Holly is the centerpiece of a “walk of
fame” located in downtown Lubbock which features plaques of
various area artists such as Mac Davis and Waylon Jennings.

Representatives from over 90 countries attended the state funeral
on Monday, November 25, 1963. Following a Mass at St. Matthew’s
Cathedral, president John F. Kennedy was laid to rest at Arlington
National Cemetery in Virginia.
