Some day I will walk the well-kept Dunure Cemetery in in South Ayrshire, Scotland. It opened 1 January 1912 and offers a panoramic view of the Ayrshire coastline, Isle of Arran and Ailsa Craig. There are Second World War graves for British, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand forces and a War Memorial. The image comes from the Scottish War Graves Project.

The cemetery around St Andrews Cathedral is enclosed by a medieval wall that forms the monastic enclosure. Some very interesting monuments can be found within, including this of 'Tommy', fittingly buried in the birthplace of golf.

OBITUARY.
MR. H. KEESING.
Mr. Harry Keesing, who died at Napier on Sunday night, was formerly a well-known resident of Auckland. It is understood that he caught a chill while motoring from Wellington to Napier, and sucumbed after an illness lasting about two weeks. Mr. Keesing, who was 63 years of age, was born in Auckland, and was the second son of the late Mr. Ralph Keesing. He spent many years in Cambridge, and on returning to Auckland entered the firm of A. H. Nathan, Limited, as accountant, but later left to join the National Trading Company, of which he became a director. At the time of his death he was a member of the firm of Lowe and Keesing, motor importers, of Napier.
As a young man Mr. Keesing was a noted amateur athlete, figuring prominently as a swimmer, runner, boxer, and gymnast. He was the holder of many trophies, including a cup presented to him by Jim Mace, the famous boxer, fon(?) his showing in a match with the latter. Mr. Keesing was a member of the Auckland, Remuera, and Devonport Bowling Clubs. He was a past president of the Auckland Savage Club, and of the Grammar School, Old Boys' Association, an orchestral member of the Auckland Choral Society, and for many years conductor of the Jewish Synagogue Choir. He was also a justice of the peace.
The deceased is survived by Mrs. Keesing and their son, Captain Gordon Keesing, who is attached to the Gallipoli Graves Commission as architect, and has designed some of the memorials already erected. Prior to going to the front with the Australian Engineers, Captain Keesing practised in Sydney as an architect. A daughter of the late Mr. Harry Keesing, Mrs. Jack Parker, of Napier, died about three years ago.

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.
Gifted speaker William Laing was never shy to voice an opinion. The Ponsonby resident at one point fancied a political career and stood for election to parliament. He also aligned himself to various social advocacy groups and was a champion for the unemployed – especially after losing his own job as a printer.
But the father of seven fell desperately ill after addressing a crowd of unemployed during a public rally on August 3, 1886. Doctors summoned to his Franklin Rd home found him confined to bed and deteriorating fast. They diagnosed an "inflammation of the lungs" brought on by exposure to the cold night air.
The 46-year-old died on August 8 and his casket was transported to the Auckland city railway station a day later for the trip west to Waikumete Cemetery. A large crowd of the same people he'd addressed just a few evenings earlier was at the station to pay its respects as the train departed.
Laing, once a Methodist preacher, was an Anglican at the time of his death and a familiar face at St Thomas' Church. Members of his old congregation were quick to come to the assistance of his widow Mary and her large brood of children – organising a series of fundraisers to help get the family back on its feet. Auckland's mayor, city councillors and various entertainers also came to the party by offering facilities and services for a benefit concert a month or so after the funeral.
Mary Laing died in 1914 and is buried with her husband.
Their tombstone also includes the name of a son, Albert Morton Laing, who was killed and buried in France during World War One.

The late Mrs Mary Laing, whose funeral took place at Waikumete yesterday, was the widow of an old Liberal stalwart and valued friend of Sir George Grey. Mrs Laing was intimately associated with the Epiphany Church since its erection, and as a prominent member of the Mothers' Union will be missed very much by that body and by a very numerous circle of personal friends. The funeral service, which was largely attended at the church and graveside, was conducted by Rev. W. E. Lush, and the Druidic portion of the last rite was performed by the Grand President, Bro. Thompson. Messages of condolence were received from all parts of the Dominion.

Santa Ana Land Grant of two square leagues was awarded by Mexico in 1834 to Benigno Leal. Headquarters for Leal’s Rancho del Adentro ("Inside ranch") was near the cemetery, part of whose palisade fence of 130-year-old ebony logs still stands.
In 1852, Cristobal and Victoria Balli Leal sold the east league (4428 acres) to Eli T. Merriman, one of Hidalgo County’s first commissioners. The Yankee surgeon and Mexican-American war veteran planned a vast cattle ranch.
The next year, Thomas Walter Jones (c1827-1853) of Washington DC drowned in the Rio Grande while surveying the Texas-Mexico border for the International Boundary Commission, in accordance with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, 1848. He was buried at Dr. Merriman’s ranch.
In 1859, Leal and his wife Victoria Balli adopted Cristobal Leal (1833-1876) as their heir. The adopted son is buried in Santa Ana Cemetery, in a large boveda (above-ground crypt) erected by his widow (and first cousin), Maria Rafaela Treviño, daughter of adjacent El Gato (Sp. "cat") Land Grantee Jose Maria Treviño.
According to family tradition, Benigno Leal was killed by Indians in revenge for the death of a member of their tribe, whom Leal killed for trespassing.
