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!
Description: Comb grave in Carr Cemetery in Overton Co., Tenn.

Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.

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.
Because the ground is rocky, they can only dig a few feet down at most, and so their graves / crypts are all partially above ground, which makes their cemetery like a cross between a traditional in-ground burial cemetery and the above-ground crypts of New Orleans. I found it interesting.

DEATH IN GAOL.
ALLEGATIONS OF PRISONERS.
NOT SUPPORTED BY DOCTORS.
During the inquiry last night into the death at Mount Eden Gaol on Wednesday of a prisoner, William White, three military prisoners declared that the light work ordered for the deceased was not in his best interests, and that he was not given a diet suitable for a man in his condition.
The evidence was to the effect that White was transferred from a prison camp to Mount Eden Gaol on January 24. He was suffering from indigestion and dyspepsia, and when he was seen by the gaol surgeon he was also found to have an irregularity of the heart, as a result he was given light work, but on Wednesday, about 6.30 a.m., he suddenly became ill. The doctor was called immediately, but, although everything possible was done, White died at 9.45 a.m. Dr. E. Williams, who conducted a post-mortem examination, stated that the deceased was well nourished and that all his organs were healthy. The aorta, however, was distinctly atheromatised, while White was also suffering from pyorrhea of the mouth
The military prisoners referred to then, asked to be heard, and, while admitting that the general management of the gaol was good, maintained that mistakes, had been made in regard to the light work and the diet given to White. Both the gaol surgeon and Dr. Williams, however, were satisfied that the prisoners had no ground for their statements.
The coroner, Mr. J. E. Wilson, S.M., returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence.

MILITARY PRISONER'S DEATH
AT THE MOUNT ETDEN GAOL
CAUSED BY HEART FAILURE.
Allegations as to the treatment afforded a military prisoner, William White who died at the Mount Eden gaol on Wednesday morning last, were made by a number of conscientious objectors while giving evidence at the inquest held before Mr. J. K. Wilson, S. M. at the gaol last night. The evidence of Dr Williams, who conducted a post mortem examination, showed that the cause of death was degeneration of the muscle of the heart wall, caused by an atheromatous patch. Evidence was also given by a number of military prisoners, two of whom stated that they to give evidence of lack of proper attention from the prison officials to deceased and that food of proper quality had not been given. One witness stated that deceased had arrived at the gaol on January 1st(?). He was six days before he saw a medical officer, and after he had seen the doctor he had made a statement to
witness that the doctor had said I'll give you some medicine. Deceased had then said to the doctor Are you not going to examine me The doctor had then examined deceased mouth, and had said that it was no wonder he had indigestion owing to the state of his teeth. He had then presribed medicine and order that his "teeth be painted."
There was no different food ordered for him, witness stated, only the gaol rations, which consisted of porridge and bread. which is not appetising for a sick man. Witness further stated that he saw deceased several times, who had said that he was getting no treatment. Deceased said that if he could work at Mt. Eden he could work at a prison camp, as he stated to that he was sent to Mt. Eden for treatment.
On the Sunday prior to his death witness was speaking to demised in the yard, and asked deceased how he was getting on. Deceased replied that someone had been complaining that he had not been doing sutlicient work and that his tobacco had been stopped. Witness had advised him to see the gaoler on the Monday morning as he (witness) did not see why they should expect a sick man to work. Witness later saw deceased's breakfast being taken in. It was porridge, bread and tea, which, he stated is the same breakfast supplied to the other prisoners. Witness saw the breakfast put in. After the unlock at about 8 oçlock he was standing at attention at his cell door, when he heard groans from deceased's cell.
Further evidence was given by military prisoners, and warders on duty at the time deceased was ill.
Dr. Sidney A. Stride, prison medical officer stated that deceased White was brought before him on January 24. having been sent from Rototowai suffering from dyspepsia. As in all cases of prisoners sent back from prison camps, witness asked him to strip to the waist, and made a thorough examination of him. On examination he found that the heart was somewhat enlarged, the apex was displaced, and the sounds irregular. The lungs were normal, and there was no pain or pressure over the abdominal region. Witness also examined his mouth, and found him to he suffering from pyorrhea. Witness came to the conclusion that he was not suffering from dyspepsia but from a deranged action of the heart. Witness ordered him treatment (bread, vegetables, meat, rice, and tea), and ordered him to be placed on light work.
Evidence as to finding deceased in a collapsed condition In his cell was given by Dr. Stride who was of the opinion that death was due to cardiac failure owing to a degenerate condition of the heart.
After hearing the evidence of a further military prisoner. Robertson, the coroner found that the cause of death was heart failure due to degeneration of the heart. All care and attention had been given to deceased by Rr. Stride and the prison authorities.
