This cemetery has always interested me. At one time Bethany Reformed Church stood on this property and my grandparents along with my dad and his brothers attended. When my dad was still quite young, the church closed and the parishioners moved to the "town church" about 5 miles away. I still attend that church today. Because of this family history, I have walked through this cemetery several times thinking I might find headstones of relatives but haven't found any familiar names.
This cemetery, begun in July 1917, contains 972 Commonwealth burials of the First World War, and 19 German war graves.

I think this is the first Japanese Cemetery I have seen in Second Life. Located at Kakumachi maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kakumachi/93/146/3004
This is the surviving chick and Mom in the Live Oak tree with tons of Spanish Moss hanging down. Precious creatures ...
Usually a quiet place. I say 'usually' because we had a bit of vandalism. The cemetery has also reached the limit of its capacity and soon will become even quieter. Cemeteries can reach the end of their life too. This cross is bit older. Unlike today's religiously nondescript tombstones or those surrounded by the paraphernalia of popular spirituality (angel figurines, toys, plaster cast dogs and teddy bears etc.) this one still shows the Christogram (IHS). IHS means the latinised version of the first three Greek letters of the name of Jesus (iota, eta, sigma). The letters can also be read as the abbreviation of Jesus Hominum Salvator (Jesus Humankind's Saviour) or In Hoc Signo (vinces; you will be victorious under this banner). In general, we could say that this gravestone represents Britain when its adherence to Christianity was taken for granted. 7Artisans manual lens at F1.2.
