Cemeteries are great photographic subjects for me... usually I wander around and pick out some statues or etchings or something. This time, however, the sign was most appealing to me... I took the photo in black and white and then gave it a slightly warmer tone. I think it's more effective than the original black and white.

FATALITY AT PARNELL TUNNEL
MARRIED MAN KILLED.
SOME PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCES
The mouth of the Parnell Tunnel, at the city end, was the scene of a fatality this morning. A man named Peter Hill, aged 35 years, was seen walking along the railway line towards the tunnel at 9.30 this morning. He was stopped by two railway employees, and informed that he could not go through, but was shown a track over the hill which would enable Him to reach Newmarket. Ten minutes later he was heard by the same men to fall over the top of the tunnel on to the railway line below. Deceased was found lying across the rails, and it was at once evident that he had sustained serious injury in falling from such a height. An outward-bound train arriving almost immediately after the occurrence, the driver was signalled to stop, and Hill was placed in the guard's van, and conveyed to Newmarket. Sergeant Vale, of the Newmarket police, had been informed of what had taken place, and he at once secured the services of Dr. Williams. The unfortunate man, however, died a few minutes after his arrival at Newmarket. Hill's fall from the face of the hill to the railway line was a big one, and it is evident that he sustained a broken neck, and severe fracture of the skull, as the result of his coming down so heavily on the railway track below. In the vicinity of the spot from which he fell the stopper of a lysol bottle was found, and the police are making further search of the locality. Hill was a married man with a family, and had only been in Auckland three weeks, having come to Auckland to go into partnership with Mr. Armitage, a dyer, of Queen street. An inquest will be held to-morrow.

An Inquest concerning the death of Peter Hill, who died as the result of injuries received on the railway line near the mouth of the Parnell tunnel on Thursday, was held by the Coroner (Mr. T. Gresham} yesterday. Evidence was given by the railway employees at the scene of the fatality as to finding the deceased, and Dr. Williams, who made a post-mortem, stated that the stomach contained fluid., which smelt decidedly of lysol. The cause of death was dislocation of the vertebrae. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with this testimony, adding that the deceased killed himself while temporarily insane.

Frank Duveneck (1848-1919), painter, was born Frank Decker in Covington, Kentucky, the son of Bernard Decker, a cobbler, and Katherine Siemers; they were both German immigrants. Bernard Decker died of cholera in 1849 before Frank was a year old, and his seventeen-year-old widow married Joseph Duveneck, a grocer from Cincinnati, Ohio, and also a German immigrant, within a few months. Frank did not discover until he was an adult that Joseph Duveneck was not his biological father.
By the age of fifteen Frank had begun the study of art under the tutelage of a local painter, Johann Schmitt and had been apprenticed to a German firm of church decorators In 1870 he enrolled in Munich's Bavarian Royal Academy. There he won prizes and acclaim for his painting and was drawn into the circle of German Realist painter Wilhelm Leibl. His Whistling Boy (1871, Cincinnati Museum of Art) is characteristic of the broadly brushed, dark-toned works that dominated his painting style into the mid-1880s.
A charismatic teacher, Duveneck in early 1878 began instructing a group of young American art students who had come to Munich to acquire European art training. Known as the "Duveneck Boys," the students were drawn to Duveneck's bravura and compelling teaching methods.
In 1879 Elizabeth Boott, an artist and an expatriate from Boston, encouraged Duveneck to relocate his "school" to Italy. For the next two years he divided his time between Florence and Venice. In 1886 Duveneck married Elizabeth Boott; they had one son. His wife died suddenly of pneumonia in Paris in the spring of 1888; Duveneck was inconsolable. After returning from Italy to America, he gave some attention to sculpture, and modelled a fine monument to his wife, now in the English cemetery in Florence. He lived in Covington until his death in 1919 and taught at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, His last large-scale production, completed in 1910, was a series of murals for the new Catholic cathedral in Covington, Kentucky.
His work can be seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Richmond Art Museum and the Kenton County Library in Covington, Ky.
Duveneck is buried at Mother of God Cemetery, Madison Avenue and 26th Street, Covington, Kenton County. The memorial is by artist Clement Barnhorn. Rendered in pink granite, the crypt stands above-ground, flanked at each of its four corners by a bronze angel with outstretched wings. Each Memorial Day since 1923, members of the Cincinnati Art Club meet at the artist's grave for a brief service to remember him and all of their deceased members.
