Topaz Adjust 5. Only two crosses remains on this site that was taken out of service in 1842. Originates from Viking age (aprox. 1000 AD) when Christianity came to Norway.
Established in 1912 the cemetery has no Victorian flourishes. It seems well cared for.
The community of Gulf Key was settled in this area in 1873 and a post office by that name was established in 1883. The post office was known briefly as, "Argo". It was replaced by the Aripeka post office in 1895. Aripeka is named for an early nineteenth-century Seminole chief, who is thought to have lived nearby. The town was divided when Pasco County separated from Hernando County in 1887. The post office, which was originally in Hernando County, moved across the Pasco County line in 1921. According to the historical marker in the town, Babe Ruth visited Aripeka to fish. On June 3, 1993, the Pasco County Historic Preservation Committee dedicated the town a State Historic Site.

Back in the General Cemetery off Spring Bank West Kingston upon Hull. This time I am at the far end of the cemetery closer to Chanterlands Avenue, the dereliction at this end is far worse than the end closer to Spring Bank. The Quaker Burial Ground is something to see with so much history of the many people who helped build this city in years gone by. The burial ground is surrounded by a small hedge and the head stones are all as you see here. This part is separated by a small allay about one person wide or slightly more from the remainder of the General cemetery. These are the first 6 photos of 11 in colour and 11 in Monochrome of The Quaker Burial Ground. Taken on the 25 March 2019 in Monochrome.
It abuts but is not a part of Magnolia Cemetery. The monument in the foreground commemorates the Union dead killed at the battle of Blakely which was fought on April 9 1865, the same day as Lee's surrender at Appomattox.

It's not often that I stop at a cemetery during a trip and I consider the experience to have been a highlight. But, I must say, the Novodevichy cemetery, next door to the convent (see previous), is well worth a visit. Here are buried some of the most prominent Russians politicians, scientists, military men and artists. Most burials are recent; most, if not all lived in the 20th century. But what's interesting are the monuments, many sculpted to the likeness of the deceased.
All the inscriptions, of course, are in Russian. So, just for the fun of it, and with the help of a Russian alphabet equivalency table, I was able to decipher the names associated with several of the monuments. Once you have that, you can look up the person on the Internet and often you can find him or her. For example, I was able to decipher the name on the third monument from the right on this photo – Konstantin Krainukov (or Kryukov) – but I could not find anything about him on the Internet. The one to the left (the fourth from the right), however, is Vasilli Emelianovich Makarov, a lieutenant general in the Russian Army who served on the western front during WWII. He later became the Deputy Head of the Main Political Directorate of the Armed Forces, a post that he occupied from 1962 until his death in 1975…if you like trivia!

I have to have a headstone put in a graveyard, so, in a ghoulish way, you might say I went shopping. Nothing much took the departed's fancy.

Wyoming Cemetery, Malden, Mass.
The France Cemetery is the final resting place of famous Confederate partisan Champ Ferguson, who harassed Federal soldiers and Unionist supporters throughout the Upper Cumberland from 1862 to 1865. The cemetery also has many excellent examples of “comb” graves, a distinctive mid-19th century to early 20th century folk art tradition that is concentrated in White and Overton counties. Comb graves are made of sandstone, with gothic-inspired headstones and footnotes; the actual grave is covered by two rectangular sandstone slabs laid in tent-fashion, creating a “gable roof” over the grave. Among the most interesting examples of material culture in the region, the comb graves give this cemetery added historical significance.
