Established in 1847, the 19-acre Key West Cemetery features a monument that was dedicated in 1900 for sailors who died during the sinking of the U.S.S. Maine (which blew up in Havana Harbor in 1898, killing approximately 260 American sailors), as well as a number of eclectic inscriptions such as “I Told You I Was Sick,” “I’m Just Resting My Eyes” and “Devoted Fan of Julio Iglesias.” In addition, the cemetery contains the graves of “General” Abe Sawyer, Key West’s famous 40-inch-tall midget, who had requested to be buried in a full-size tomb; William Curry, who was reportedly Florida’s first millionaire; Stephen Mallory, a U.S. Senator and Confederate Navy Secretary; and Ernest Hemingway’s good buddy, “Sloppy Joe” Russell.
