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.

Shot at f/4. I used negative clarity and a curve adjustment to get this soft glow.
I was testing my JC Penney 135mm f/2.8 (with a Pentax K mount) on the Olympus Pen E-PL1. The Pen has been modified for full spectrum capture and a Neewer IR 760 filter was attached to the lens. Tripod mounted. With the 4/3rd's crop factor the lens becomes a virtual 270mm f/2.8.
Also known as the Bryan-Williams Cemetery or the Kersting Cemetery, this family burial ground is the resting place for some of Liberty County's most prominent citizens. One of the oldest graves is that of Luke Bryan (1807-69), veteran of the Battle of San Jacinto and later Liberty County sheriff. His brother Pryor Bryan (1810-73), who fought in the Texas Revolution and Civil War, married Mary A. Merriman (1817-61). Both are buried here along with daughter Laura (1847-1927) and her husband Capt. Watson D. Williams (1838-81) of the Confederate Army, later a successful publisher and Liberty businessman. Two Williams children are buried here: Jessie (1871-82) who died at age 11; and Wilda (1873-1928), a musician, who married Liberty County Judge William Neyland (1869-99) in 1895. Their son Watson (1898-1963) became a world-renowned painter.
Others buried here include Eugenia Mouton (1841-1915), authoress, publisher, and half-sister of W. D. Williams; Isaiah C. Day (1812-79), the businessman and rancher for whom the town of Dayton (formerly West Liberty) is named; "Miss Yettie" Kersting (1863-1941), beloved Liberty businesswoman and benefactress; and Elizabeth Watkins whose 1853 grave is the oldest in the cemetery.
Although few in number, the graves are given full care by the Liberty Cemetery Association. (1981) (Marker No. 9640)

Bellefontaine Cemetery, established in 1849 as the Rural Cemetery Association of St. Louis, is nationally significant for its landscape architecture (Criterion C) as a unique hybrid of the rural and landscape-lawn cemetery movements. Bellefontaine did not adapt either influence (rural or landscape-lawn) exclusively but instead, merged both into its overall landscape design. Decisions to pursue cutting edge landscape ideas and to limit the cemetery's recreational use, sets Bellefontaine apart from its east coast (rural cemetery) predecessors and mid-western (landscapelawn) examples. The cemetery was initially designed as a rural cemetery by its first superintendent, Almerin Hotchkiss, who came to St. Louis after working with David Bates Douglass and Zebediah Cook, Jr. at Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery (established 1838; NHL, 2006). In addition to his work at Green-Wood, Hotchkiss (while working at Bellefontaine) designed what is believed to be the nation's earliest planned suburban neighborhood, Lake Forest, Illinois. Once the landscape-lawn movement began to take shape (introduced by Adolph Strauch in 1855 at Cincinnati's Spring Grove Cemetery in Ohio, established 1844; NHL, 1979), Bellefontaine served as an early proponent of the movement. Complementing and contributing to the cemetery's landscape architecture is Bellefontaine's exceptional collection of memorials and mausolea designed by renowned sculptors, architects and craftsmen. Elements of both the rural and landscape-lawn cemetery movements are clearly defined through the site's undulating topography, planned horticultural features, serpentine road network, man-made lakes and spatial relationships between stones, monuments and tombs. The associated period of significance, 1849 - 1940, extends from the cemetery's year of incorporation, 1849 through 1940, by which time Bellefontaine had reached its final stage of physical development.
