River View Cemetery was established in 1869, by civic leaders of Aurora, Indiana, and is identified with the social history of the town's development from being an Ohio River frontier outpost to the maturing community of commerce and wealth in the later half of the 19th century. The original thirty-acre plat of River View Cemetery was professionally designed in the recognized style of the ""rural"" cemetery movement, a declaration of the town's progress and material capacity. Thus, River View Cemetery demonstrates significance on local, state and national levels. With minimal exceptions, headstones and monuments in the original plat date from the cemetery's founding in 1869 to the middle of the 20th century. Additions of architecture and burial plots are characteristic to their respective periods and otherwise complement the historic scale and character. A twelve-acre 1945 expansion to the cemetery is distinguished from the original plat and does not intrude upon its context or character. With the modern expansion being the place of most contemporary burials, the area of original location maintains its integrity of design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association, therefore meeting National Register Criteria A, C and Criteria Consideration D (for a cemetery). River View Cemetery has statewide significance as one of Indiana's early examples of a professionally designed landscape. The cemetery was an out-of-the-ordinary commission for noted regional architect William Tinsley, which also contributes to the statewide significance of the property.

Lt Col Sir Anthony Gadie (1868-1948), Lord Mayor & Freeman of Bradford.
Eliza Ann Gadie (d1923), Lady Mayoress 1920-21.
Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Anthony Gadie was a businessman and Conservative Party politician. He was self-made man. Born in a small cottage in Skipton, he became a builder and then an estate agent, a Lord Mayor of Bradford and a local councillor and Alderman for 45 years. He served as an army officer in France during World War I and as a Member of Parliament in the 1920s, but is best known for his involvement with construction of the Scar House Reservoir.
He was a member of Bradford City Council from 1900 to 1945 and was the Lord Mayor of Bradford from 1920 to 1921. He also served as chair of the Corporation's Water Committee, playing a big part in establishing the Scar House Reservoir, which was completed in 1936. Scar House was the second of two reservoirs built at great cost by Bradford Corporation in Upper Nidderdale to supply the city's needs. The reservoir was dismissed by some as a waste of money, and known as "Gadie's Folly". However, during the droughts of 1933 and 1934 Bradford had all the water it needed.
Gadie was Chairman of the Bradford Conservative and Unionist Association from 1924 to 1947 and at the 1924 general election he was elected to the House of Commons as MP for Bradford Central, winning the seat from the sitting Labour Party MP. However, Labour re-gained the seat at the 1929 general election and after his defeat Gadie did not stand for Parliament again.
He was knighted "for political and public services in Bradford" in 1935. He was a freemason and was awarded the freedom of the City of Bradford in 1946. He died on 24 August 1948, aged 79, He lived at "Oakwood", Toller Lane, Bradford.
Known as Pine Grove for the Baptist church that was focus for community in the area, this burial ground was in use in 1860s. Tombstone of Mrs. Harriet Hobdy Kelley is dated 1869, but there may be earlier, unmarked graves. Land donors were (1886) J. L. and Eveline Mansfield. War veterans here: the Confederates Richard Butler, Henderson Green, and W. T. Wasson; also Wasson's son, Brosig T. Wasson, Grimes County's first fatality of World War I. When the church disbanded in 1929, the cemetery was renamed for area's defunct post office. At least one family has 3 generations here. (1974) (Marker No. 8563)
I like the phrase "passed to the spirit life," as if she's there with the fireflies and the night moths banging against the summer screen door.

Rosehill Cemetery, Chicago, wintry dusk. We were lucky we didn't get locked in the cemetery staying this late!
Chinese cemetery - Manila
Lane with graves
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.
