Grafton National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery located in Grafton, West Virginia. It encompasses a total of 3.2 acres. The first interments took place in 1867 for casualties of the American Civil War in West Virginia. The Grafton cemetery is closed to most new interments due to inadequate space.
The first interments were held in the lower two terraces: 1,252 Union soldiers, 613 of which were unknown, were buried. Remains from temporary graves in Clarksburg, Grant County, Fayette County, Kanawha County, Marion County, Rich Mountain battle site, and Wheeling, as well as several Union dead from Kentucky were relocated to the National Cemetery. Additionally, some Confederate soldiers were buried.
The cemetery contains the burial site of Thornsbury Bailey Brown, believed to have been the first Union casualty of the Civil War. Brown was believed to have been killed on May 22, 1861 when he refused to acknowledge a Confederate sentry. Brown is said to have shot the Confederate in the ear, and was then shot in the heart. Brown was reinterred at Grafton in 1903 in Section F, Grave 1226.

Carnton Plantation, Franklin, Tennessee. The Battle of Franklin was fought on November 30, 1864 and Carnton Plantation became a field hospital for the Confederate Army. Originally, the 1,750 Confederate soldiers who died during the battle were buried in shallow graves on the battlefield. However, John and Carrie McGavock, owners of Carnton Plantation, set aside two acres of their land so these soldiers could get a proper burial.
Description: Comb graves in Phillips Cemetery in Overton Co., Tenn.
Date: February 26, 2013

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.

Had the day off work today so I went to my favorite Cemetery to take some pictures for my 366 picture a day Flickr account. www.flickr.com/photos/136854704@N03/ The parish church of St Mary the Virgin in Bexley Kent, around the back is a separate grave yard, parts are very much overgrown, and it is managed as a conservation area partly as grassland and partly as woodland.

Streatham Cemetery is a large cemetery with a notable number of interesting and historic monuments to find in the large area it's spread over. A good way to spend an hour or two as part of a day exploring here and several other cemeteries in the area.
The broken column signifying life cut short. Not always an indication of vandalism but quite often deliberate symbols of a life left unfinished when cut off by death. Often decorated with laurel wreaths. Other forms are a tree without branches, a tree stump, and a tree trunk with an embedded axe.
