@
Antony-22 and
The C of E: Maybe you can help me work out the original? Is it saying (A) the cemetery has been a farm, has been "the Babe Ruth...", and has been a suspected mobster, (B) the farm that is now a cemetery was owned by the founder of Westbury, was owned by "the Babe Ruth...", and was owned by a suspected mobster, or (C) the founder of Westbury was "the Babe Ruth..." and a suspected mobster? Any of these are possible with the current phrasing, and while I'm guessing it's B or C, perhaps the interesting-if-morbid ALT1 that's much more clear should be used.
