The Knatz plot is near the General Slocum disaster monument. This horrific event of a fire on a ship filled with German residents of New York forever changed the German neighborhood on the lower East Side of New York City. Saint Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, which was located on Manhattan’s Lower East Side and served primarily German immigrants, chartered the ship for their 17th annual excursion to the Locust Grove Picnic Ground on Eaton’s Neck, Long Island. But in the course of 20 minutes 1021 people died, mostly women and children while their husbands were working. My grandmother Annie Bergner Knatz was pregnant with her daughter Anna (my Aunt Anna) and so she did not attend the event that year.
Note that the View Hill Avenue was eliminated the last time I visited in 2019.
