Does Edgar Allan Poe's tomb stone say he died on November 17th?

Answer 1

No, it does not. But, it does erroneously say that he was born on January 20, 1809 even though he was actually born on January 19, 1809.

Actually, Poe's original burial site (in the Poe family plot) has the following engraving: "Original burial place of Edgar Allan Poe from October 9, 1849 until November 17, 1875." Around November 17, 1875, Poe's remains were moved to a more prominent site in the cemetery, and his aunt's, and later his wife's, remains were buried alongside.

Answer 2

No, Edgar Allan Poe's tombstone does not give a specific death date. Poe died on October 7, 1849, under mysterious circumstances, and his grave at Westminster Hall and Burying Ground in Baltimore only bears his name and birth and death years.
