Garrison Cemetery is a cemetery located on the grounds of Fort Anne in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. Initially used as a burial ground for French military forces, it has since been used by Acadians, the British military and the parish of St. Lukes. The earliest remaining tombstone is from 1720, that of Bethiah Douglass who died October 1, 1720 in her 37th year
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.

MRS. LYDIA KAYE
An old resident of Auckland, Mrs. Lvdia Kaye, died recently at her home in Richmond Road, Ponsonby, after a short illness. Mrs. Kaye, who had nearly attained her 80th year, was born at Onehunga. Her parents, Captain and Mrs. Thomas Ninnis, left Cornwall in the pioneering days of Auckland, Captain Ninnis having been engaged to undertake copper mining operations at Kawau Island, then owned by Sir George Grey. When the venture came to an end, he settled with his family in the Manukau and Waiuku districts.
Among Mrs. Kaye's memories were journeys to Onehunga during the Waikato War, when the homes and families of settlers were often in danger from native raiding parties. She married first Mr. Robert Bent, of the Bank of New South Wales, who at his death was manager for the bank at Kaikoura. Her second husband was Mr. Robert Kaye, a postal official, who predeceased her by six years. Mrs. Kaye at various times resided at Auckland, Napier, Kaikoura, Westport, Timaru and Nelson. She leaves two sons, Mr. A. F. Bent, clerk of the Magistrate's Court at Blenheim, and Mr. R. L. Kaye, assistant Public Works engineer at Stratford. A daughter died in infancy.

Interior view of the spectacular crematorium building. The Ceremony Hall interior is decorated with fraternal insignia, stained glass windows, and other paintings designed by John A. Mallin. This is a really gorgeous space, but something about it gave me a chill. It was extremely quiet--I don't think anyone was on the cemetery grounds while I was there except me and the caretaker I'd run into earlier--and it smelled very...well...like ashes. Lots of ashes.
