He still holds the world record for 6 day walking 531 miles. He also held the record for 6 days running 623 miles at Maddison Square Gardens in 1888, a record that stood for 96 years .

Any surplus funds can go towards an interpretative board if appropriate and the work of the group restoring the cemetery.
