There are two graves that are marked with markers related to Phi Mu Alpha. The first is the grave of our Founder, first President of Alpha Chapter and first Supreme President, Ossian Everett Mills. Father Mills died on December 26, 1920. This marker at his grave in Thompson, Connecticut, was dedicated on December 28, 1928:
The second is the grave of the second President of Alpha Chapter, first Supreme Historian and Sixth Supreme President, Percy Jewett Burrell. With Mills, Burrell was instrumental in establishing and articulating the values and principles on which the Fraternity is based. Burrell died without any descendants at the age of 87 in 1964. In 1998, history-minded Sinfonians learned that he had been buried in an unmarked grave in Watertown, Massachusetts. They worked for several years with city officials and with family members toward placing a monument at his grave, and raised money for that monument through donations from Sinfonians across the country. On October 2, 2004, this marker was dedicated at his grave (these pictures are from the dedication ceremony):
The inscription at the bottom can't be completely seen. It reads: "He has not truly lived who has not lived for others, in sympathy and harmony with his fellows." It comes from Burrell's 1908 President's Message to the Fraternity.
