Master Gracey
In the family plot of the Haunted Mansion in Liberty Square is a tombstone for Master Gracey. The tombstone is a tribute to Imagineer Yale Gracey. His tombstone was also one of the original eight in the family plot outside of Disneyland's Mansion, but it was removed sometime in the 1970s although a replica was installed in the October of 2016 along with replicas of the original eight and four new tombstones. In Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion, a butler or maid picks a fresh rose every morning and place it on Gracey's grave. Originally Disney World's Master Gracey tombstone was located in the Family Plot but as of the queue refurbishment of 2011, the tombstone was given it's own private plot of land for photo-ops.

Brother Claude Tombstone
In the family plot of the Haunted Mansion is a tombstone for "Brother Claude". No details are given about his life, which seems to have been uneventful, but from the epitaph it can be inferred that Claude had a brother or a sister, who outlived him and wrote said epitaph.
The tombstone is a tribute to Imagineer Claude Coats, who is generally considered to be responsible for the atmospheric first half of the attraction.

Mr. Toad at the Haunted Mansion
Within the Pet Cemetery found in the Magic Kingdom Mansion, Mr. Toad's tombstone can be spotted near the back of the plot. The grave marker is a simple rusted over metal statue of Toad.
However there is a popularized epitaph associated with the grave which is either out of sight or a complete fabrication, that epitaph being: "Here Lies Toad, it's sad but true. Not nearly as marketable as Winnie the Pooh"

Painting of Trixie St. Claire
Painting of Trixie St. Claire found in the queue area of the County Bear Jamboree.
Trixie is an old trouper, a veteran performer. There is nary a sourdough or grubstaker who doesn’t recall her singing and dancing in the rip-roaring music halls of the western frontier. She has been known variously as The Calgary Charmer, Alaska Allurer, Vancouver Vamp, Bewitcher of British Columbia, and Tacoma Temptress. As did so many folks with good sense, she visited Florida and decided to stay. She is now known as The Tampa Temptation. She spends her spare hours thumbing through the pages of her scrapbook and is planning to write a book, "I Bearly Remember".

Terrance Painting
A painting of Terrance in the Country Bear Jamboree queue area.
Terrence is better known as the “Vibrating Wreck from Nashville Tech.” His stay at Nashville was short—the roar of the greasepaint called to him, and he became an actor. He performed often with the Bearrymores. He was known throughout the Ozarks and as far north as Joplin for his tent-show rendition of Cyrano de Beargerac (he was one of the few actors who could play the role without a false nose). A fall from the balcony in Romeo and Juliet literally brought down the house. It ended his acting career (and the stage) and he turned in his tights for a guitar.
This painting is actually concept art for Shaker by Marc Davis.

Painting of Ernest
Painting of Ernest in the queue of the Country Bear Jamboree.
Ernest the Dude is a modern Beau Brummell, the well-dressed bear-about-town. He carries his wardrobe with him wherever he goes, which is difficult (not many motorists will pick up a bear hitchhiker with 17 trunks of clothes). He has 30 coats and 40 slacks (some of which fit), 60 shirts, 47 shoes, 20 hats and a pair and a half of underwear. Each year, when the Ten Best Dressed are announced, Ernest the Dude is there (wondering why he isn’t on the list).

Painting of Teddi Barra
Painting of Tebbi Barra found in the queue area of the Country Bear Jamboree.
Teddi Barra was discovered sitting on a soda fountain stool in an ice cream parlor three miles from Gentry, Arkansas. From there, her rise in show biz was meteoric, and the ravishing beauty is known as The Jewel of the Dakotas. Though she has always wanted to perform serious drama, her fans have never let her forget her feather boa and her parasol, both of which have been promised to the Daughters of Benton County Western Museum when they wear out. In Grizzly Hall she performs her famous “Heart, We Did All We Could” while descending from the ceiling on a swing. She has been called The Last of the Big Time Swingers.

Painting of Big Al
Painting of Big Al found in the queue area of the Country Bear Jamboree.
Big Albert says, “I was born in a cave near the Princess Theater in Pocatello, Idaho”. There was music in his blood, and he’s been playing his guitar since he was a child. It’s become more difficult—Big Al has grown, and the guitar hasn’t. He loves to sit in front of his cave and sing. He was the first to practice ecology; he didn’t litter his cave with tin cans and paper cartons—he ate ‘em. He was resident bard and balladeer in the swamp before Walt Disney World was built (and three badgers and an alligator have expressed great joy that he is now singing for people). This is Big Albert’s 10th farewell appearance.

Gomer Painting
A painting of Gomer found in the Country Bear Jamboree queue area.
Gomer is the piano player, but he didn’t always play country and western music. His training was classical. He began pawing the ivories while a cub and practiced days and nights for many years. Finally, he went to New York, much to the relief of his neighbors. There he studied Bearlioz, and his favorite composition was "Night on Bear Mountain." When he heard himself referred to as the “lard of Juilliard,” he quit the concert stage and went home to the hills. He is highly regarded by the other musicians because he can play in a key other than C.
