In my eighteen years working on this project, I have always been certain that Hart Island was used exclusively for burying human remains. I am no longer certain.
Today, I came across an entry for "non human remains." The entry is listed as Grave 17, Plot 224, Section III buried April 14, 1992. It is clearly written. I am wondering how this can be possible since Potter's Field is for unclaimed and unidentified people.
