Arthur Hadley was a US President who studied at Yale University. The grave is found at New Haven. It is one of the oldest cemeteries in the USA.
Hadley, who was the 13th president, was buried wearing full samurai dress. He died while he was in Japan, and his body was shipped back to the USA. On opening the coffin to verify the death, it was discovered that he was dressed in gold robe, breastplate, helmet, along with a samurai sword.
