Side A
In 1818 three Wilson brothers John, Matthew and Samuel, came from Virginia to purchase large farms in this area. The plantations of John and Matthew joined near this cemetery. All three brothers and their families are buried here. Inscriptions on two gravestones tell of a Civil War atrocity when, on April 30, 1865 two local Union guerrilla gangs tortured and murdered John Wilson and his nephew, Matthew Jr. Two others in the house were shot, yet lived to tell the story. The plantation overseer was murdered the following morning.
Side B
A number of slaves are buried here adjoining the south wall of the Wilson Cemetery. There were 160 slaves on the two Wilson plantations at Wilson's Crossroads (now St. Florian). The graves of Christopher Brewer and his wife are probably located here. They were the maternal grandparents of William Christopher Handy. Florence's famous "Father of the Blues". Brewer a freeman was with John Wilson in 1865 when the family was terrorized by guerrilla gangs. Brewer was wounded but survived to lead the Wilson heirs to where the family valuables were buried.

St. Sever Cemetery Extension in Rouen, France. Pictured here are the War Graves of the British and Commonwealth forces. There are 1000's of graves in this cemetery, most are from the 1st World War. I took this in March 2009 when I was visiting Rouen.
Nunhead Cemetery is perhaps the least known, but most attractive, of the great Victorian Cemeteries of London. Consecrated in 1840, it is one of the seven great Victorian cemeteries established in a ring around the outskirts of London. It contains examples of the magnificent monuments erected in memory of the most eminent citizens of the day, which contrast sharply with the small, simple headstones marking common, or public, burials. Its formal avenue of towering limes and the Gothic gloom of the original Victorian planting gives way to paths which recall the country lanes of a bygone era. - Friends of Nunhead Cemetery
Matthews and Robert Shanks of Alabama settled here with their families in 1859. A small farming community developed, and in 1870 a school was built on a one-acre site donated by R. C. Murray. Land beside the schoolyard became a public burial ground, known as Shanks Cemetery after Shanks Post Office opened in 1896. The earliest recorded burial was Burgess A. Whatley (1854-1892). In 1893 G. W. Bell deeded another half acre east of the graveyard. The school building was torn down in 1917. Shanks Cemetery Association has maintained the site since 1935. (1977) (Marker No. 9904)
27 August 2007; Pere Cheney, MI.
The road is appropriately named Cemetery Rd. It is also the long way to Pere Cheney. But a unique and very quiet drive straight into the woods on a sandy two track.

Joe Byrd cemetery in Huntsville, TX. Also known as peckerwood cemetery. This is where inmates from the Texas prisons were buried when no family claimed them or the family didn't have the money to bury them. The X or EX on the marker indicated they were executed.

Mill Lane Cemetery was a rather fortunate find in a residential area of Shoreham, that I only found about by spotting it on the map not far from St Nicholas Church.
Turned out to be a great find, with some interesting modern monuments set over a large area, plus a smaller section in one corner where all the older monuments are.
A little out of the way compared to some of Shorehams other locations, but well worth making the effort to find.
Pleasant Forest Cemetery is an old cemetery, founded in 1796. It lies on both sides of Concord Road about one-half mile south of Kingston Pike. Most of the cemetery receives some maintenance. I am told that State of Tennessee provides money for cutting the grass. The cemetery functions as two cemeteries. The portion east of Concord Road and the southeast corner of the portion west of Concord Road are a black cemetery.

Tis a little grave, but o have care,
For world’s wide hopes are buried there;
How much of light, how much of joy,
Is buried with an only boy.

Looking west to east through the center of Mayfield Cemetery in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Mayfield is a Jewish cemetery adjacent to Lake View Cemetery.
Salisbury National Cemetery was established by Confederate authorities to serve as the burial ground for captured Union soldiers incarcerated at the prison in Salisbury. The practice of prisoner exchange kept the prison populations down until 1864, after which their populations swelled. In the fall of 1864, the number of soldiers at Salisbury prison doubled from 5,000 to 10,000. It suffered from one of the highest prison death rates, with as many as half the men dying of starvation or disease. There are approximately 11,700 unknown Union Soldierswho died while being held prison at the Salisbury Confederate Prison. These remain are buried in 18-trenches at the Salisbury National Cemetery.
This is a huge cemetery, filled to the brim with the Jewish. I'm guessing that since Richfield is actually terribly small (I doubt that half of its population is Jewish), that most of the people buried here are actually from around the Twin Cities area. Either way, huge place. The graves are almost hilariously close together.
You'll walk inbetween a row of graves and the next thing you know, you're stepping on a flat one. They must bury vertically?

The only things remaining are a few headstone bases, some fencing, the entrance sign, and stone with an Historic Landmark plaque.
