Chester A. Arthur was the 21st President of the United States. According to publisher Alexander K. McClure "No man entered the Presidency so profoundly and widely distrusted, and no one ever retired...more generally respected." President Arthur is just one of the many influential historical figures that are buried in the Albany Rural Cemetery.
