Mulkey Cemetery is a small historic cemetery located in the south hills of Eugene, Oregon, United States, in the Hawkins Heights portion of the Churchill neighborhood.
The hilltop, with sweeping views of west Eugene, the Willamette Valley, the Coburg Hills, and the Cascades, was first used as a cemetery in 1853. The cemetery property was deeded to the Bailey Hill School District in 1891. Management was taken over by the Mulkey Cemetery Association in 1925. The Association still maintains the land, and became a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation in 2008.
The cemetery is located at 3335 South Lambert Street. (www.mulkeycemetery.org/)

The Azion Baptist Church sits on the west side of Dallas Co. Rd. 21 and less than a mile north of Alabama Rt. 22 at Martin Station. Behind the church are several fairly recent graves, but across the road is an extensive cemetery that covers perhaps an acre of what is now wooded land not visible from the road in summer. It is the cemetery that was originally adjacent to the Protestant Methodist church (now long gone) and the St. Luke's Episcopal Church (originally built in Cahawba, later moved to Martin, and recently (ca. 2008) returned to Cahaba.

Part of the area which now falls within the present boundaries of Newtown, north of King Street, was originally part of Camperdown. This area was named by Governor William Bligh who received it as a land grant in 1806 and who passed it to his daughter and son-in-law on his return to England in 1810. In 1848 part of this land was acquired by the Sydney Church of England Cemetery Company to create a general cemetery beyond the boundary of the City of Sydney.[8] Camperdown Cemetery, just one block away from King Street, Newtown, was to become significant in the life of the suburb. Between its consecration in 1849 and its closure to further sales in 1868 it saw 15,000 burials of people from all over Sydney.[9] Of that number, approximately half were paupers buried in unmarked and often communal graves, sometimes as many as twelve in a day during a measles epidemic.[10] Camperdown Cemetery remains, though much reduced in size, as a rare example of mid 19th century cemetery landscaping. It retains the Cemetery Lodge and huge fig tree dating from 1848, as well as a number of oak trees of the same date. It survived to become the main "greenspace" of Newtown, its large stand of trees giving it something the character of an oasis. Among the significant people buried in the cemetery are the famous explorer-surveyor Sir Thomas Livingstone Mitchell, Major Edmund Lockyer and Mary, Lady Jamison (the widow of the renowned colonial pioneer landowner, physician, constitutional reformer and 'knight of the realm', Sir John Jamison). The cemetery also holds the remains of the victims of the wreck of the Dunbar in 1857.[11]

Chinese cemetery - Manila
Een wandeling in de straten van de Chinese begraafplaats is onthutsend. We kuieren traag en onbegrijpend doorheen een echte dodenstad. We zien er de laatste rustplaats van veel welstellende Chinezen in Manilla. in lange lanen zie je door het vele traliewerk de sarcofagen van hun dierbaren opgesteld in huizen en soms riante villa's. Soms staat de wagen van de overledene voor de deur geparkeerd. Sommige huisjes hebben airconditioning, stromend water, keuken, douches en een brievenbus ... In de weekends en op speciale feestdagen komen familieleden hier samen om gezellig bij elkaar te zijn en om te eten en te drinken ... met hun geliefde doden ... dit allemaal om de doden nog een goede 'eeuwige' tijd te bezorgen ...
De begraafplaats kent tevens een crematorium waar dagelijks crematies plaatsvinden van afgestorven Chinezen, maar ook van Filippino`s.
A true city of the dead, the Chinese Cemetery is an amazing area where the dead are venerated in houses instead of graves, and where the family still comes by regularly for more than just laying fresh flowers.
The big street still had all the noise and pollution that can be found in many parts of Manila.

Nikora Wharewhiti 19669 (1894-1919)
Rikihana Wharewhiti 19726 (1897-1818) Buried Brookwood Cemetery, England
Both brothers served with the Pioneer Maori Battalion during the First World War; Nikora with the 17th reinforcements, Rikihana with the 19th. Both also died from tuberculosis, although Nikora did make it back to New Zealand, whereas younger brother Rikihana did not.
They were the sons of Matenga Wharewhiti of Waoitapu, near Lake Taupo. Nikora Wharewhiti enlisted February 1917 at Rotorua, from work as a labourer. Primarily, labouring is what the Pioneer Maori Battalion did during the war, known as the “diggers” of the Western Front. He started to feel ill in March 1918 while in France, with a persistent cough that didn’t seem to go away, and was diagnosed later that year as suffering from TB. He was sent back to New Zealand, but was yet to be discharged when he died at Auckland Hospital, 24 January 1919.

The Rye Family Cemetery at Rye Preserve. Several of the founders of the Town of Rye can be found here. This is an old southern-style graveyard with headstones and footstones to mark each grave.
Department volunteers care for the site, weeding the graves and mending, cleaning, and re-painting the fence.
Established in 1854, it replaced the original cemetery that was located at Mentor Avenue and Center Street.

Essex Farm was used as an advanced dressing station between April 1915 and August 1917. Being based near to the front line trenches, the station gave first aid care to the wounded before casualties were transferred to a Casualty Clearing Station. To begin with the dressing station was just a series of dugouts cut into the western side spoil-bank of the Ypres Canal that runs behind Essex Farm Cemetery. However, it eventually gained more permanent concrete shelters that remain to this day. Near to this concrete building is a memorial to Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae who wrote the poem “In Flanders Field the poppies blow” on May 3rd 1915.

This community cemetery has served the people of rural Brown County for more than a century. James Jackson Martin (1847-1898) and Daniel Hulse (1822-1880) each donated land for the cemetery after settling in this area prior to 1878. Later donations by A. A. Martin and F. B. Smiley enlarged the cemetery.
The first person buried here was Mrs. M. C. Cain, who died in April 1878. Four months later James William Martin, two-year-old son of J. J. Martin, died and was interred here on land donated by his father.
A combination school and church building was built on the west side of the cemetery in the 1870s, and later was replaced by another structure on the east side of the property. Both the Fairview Baptist Church and the Methodist Church met here.
Among the more than five hundred graves in the Fairview Cemetery are those of many area pioneers. Also interred here are veterans of the Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
In 1978, one hundred years after the first burial, a cemetery association was organized to maintain the historic graveyard. The Fairview Cemetery stands as a reminder of the area's early heritage. (1991) (Marker No. 1552)
Mount Olivet Cemetery is a historic rural cemetery in northeast Washington, D.C. run by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese.
It sits on 85 acres and has over 100,000 graves, and is located on Bladensburg Road NE between West Virginia Avenue and New York Avenue (directly west of the National Arboretum).
It was opened in the 1850s and is the final resting place of a few marginally famous (and infamous) folks. Among them are:
Arizona John Burke (who managed the career of "Buffalo Bill" Cody), James Hoban (original architect of the White House), Watty Lee (Major League baseball player), John Lloyd (main government witness against Mary Surratt and the others in the Lincoln assassination trial, and what we would politely call a "questionable witness"), Mary Surratt (of the Lincoln assassination scheme), Robert Odlum (first person to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge; he wanted to prove you could safely do so and not die...he failed -- miserably), Henry Wirz (the "Demon of Andersonville"), and a few others.
Photographically, there are some interesting headstones and statuary here, along with a few over-the-top mausoleums, but you also notice a number of graves that are in severe disrepair -- like the aforementioned John Lloyd, which is now almost lost to history.
Though not Savannah’s oldest cemetery, Bonaventure is certainly its most famous and hauntingly beautiful. Quintessentially Southern Gothic, it has captured the imaginations of writers, poets, naturalists, photographers and filmmakers for more than 150 years. Part natural cathedral, part sculptural garden, Bonaventure transcends time.
Military generals, poet Conrad Aiken, Academy Award-winning lyricist Johnny Mercer and Georgia's first governor Edward Telfair are among those buried at Bonaventure. The approximately 100-acre cemetery is also historically significant as a reflection of changing views on death and dying in the Victorian era. As death became more romanticized and ritualized during this period, cemeteries became lush, beautiful “cities of the dead.”
Another reason behind Bonaventure’s popularity is John Berendt’s book, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which featured a cover photo of the now-famous "Bird Girl" statue, formerly located in Bonaventure. The statue has since been moved to the Telfair Museum of Art, founded through the bequest of Mary Telfair, also buried at Bonaventure.
The only cemetery to serve the town of Dickens. This graveyard began in 1891, the same year the town was founded. Mrs. C. F. Jones, wife of pioneer settler and town barber C. F. Jones, died in 1891 and was buried by her husband at the foot of a hill overlooking the Croton Breaks. The owner of the property, M. S. Crow, at the suggestion of his attorney, W. C. Ballard, donated five acres of land surrounding the grave site for a community cemetery. W. C. Ballard, considered by many to be the "Father of Dickens," died in 1913 and was buried here, as well.
Many early settlers, city and county officials are interred in this graveyard. Also buried here are veterans of the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
Through the years, the site of the Dickens Cemetery has increased through additional land donations. A fence was erected in 1919, and in 1948 local citizens formed a cemetery association to care for the grounds and monuments. Now, encompassing more than eighteen acres, the cemetery serves as a reflection of area history. (1994) (Marker No. 1218)
The cemetery is best known because of the aftermath of the Johnstown Flood of 1889. Many of the flood's 2,209 victims are buried there. A section of the cemetery called the "Unknown Plot" contains the bodies of 777 flood victims who could not be identified. A monument to the flood victims was purchased by the state of Pennsylvania and dedicated on May 31, 1892 before a crowd estimated at 10,000 that included the governor of Pennsylvania.[1]
As of March 31, 1992, the total number of interments at Grandview was 57,006. The cemetery contains 47 burial sections and more than 235 acres (0.95 km2), and is one of the largest in Pennsylvania.[1]

Description: Comb grave in Looper-Speck Cemetery in Overton Co., Tenn.
Date: November 25, 2012
Creator: Dr. Richard Finch
Collection name: Richard C. Finch Folk Graves Digital Photograph Collection
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.

1921 Race Riot victims buried at Oaklawn Cemetery , Tulsa Oklahoma.
Reuben Everett (in the papers as Ruben Everett) killed by GSW to the abdomen.
Eddie Lockard (Dec 10, 1888- June 1 1921, age 33). Apparently died 8 miles east of Tulsa although possibly not on the 1st, may have been the second. Race riot commission papers say that the grave marker is not actually over his grave. He is possibly the Ned Lockard, waiter at Joseph L and Nina Lockard’s
restaurant at their residence at 316 E Archer.
