Mount Hope Cemetery is a historic cemetery in southern Boston, Massachusetts, between the neighborhoods of Roslindale and Mattapan. It was established in 1852 as a private cemetery, and was acquired by the city five years later. It is the city's first cemetery to be laid out in the rural cemetery style, with winding lanes. It was at first 85 acres (34 ha) in size; it was enlarged by the addition of 40 acres (16 ha) in 1929. Its main entrance is on Walk Hill Street, on the northern boundary.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 25, 2009.

Willow Grove Cemetery, South Reddish, Stockport. No longer used for burials but carefully maintained by Stockport Council and the Friends of Stockport Cemeteries.
My grandparents are buried here but I have been unable to find their grave.
Many of the gravestones have been laid down for safety reasons.
WWII Veterans who served with the 30th Infantry Division, their family, and Soldiers with the North Carolina National Guard, visit the Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery and Memorial in Belgium on Sept. 15, 2019, where more than 300 Old Hickory Soldiers who died during WWII are buried. The group, who traveled to the Netherlands to participate in several celebrations commemorating the 75th Liberation of Belgium and the Netherlands by 30th Inf. Div. “Old Hickory” Soldiers in September of 1944, visited the graves of several 30th Soldiers where flowers were laid and a sand ceremony was performed where sand from Omaha Beach, France is rubbed into the headstone to make the name more prominent when friends and families visit a grave site.

Yes it is really called Siberia. It is north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia....and people died of thirst and all sorts of horrible things trying to make their fortunes, just trying to get here, chasing gold. This Cemetery dates back to 1893...

The family of this name settled on the Chippawa creek in 1789 and one of their
original log houses still stands. They were of “Pennsylvania Dutch” blood and were
loyal to the Crown in the Revolution and the war of 1812. The spelling of the name has
been altered during the elapsed century and “Miseners” are numerous in Welland county. (Niagara Historical Society 1910)
War Memorial in cemetery. Foundation stone of Angle Grove Lutheran church 8 Sep 1891 by Pastor J E Hansen, opened 8 Sep 1891, replaced 1909 by St John’s Lutheran in town of Brinkworth, demolished 1948, plaque unveiled 10 Nov 2002 to commemorate congregation founded 1875-76. First services in district were in private homes. In 1880 the Lutherans rented the Wesleyan Methodist church (known as Boucaut or Mallee Corner church 3 miles NW of Brinkworth). In 1890 they rented the Magpie Creek Bible Christian chapel (2 miles E of Brinkworth).
“Rochester . . . For some time past the Germans in this district have been holding service in the Bible Christian Chapel, Magpie Creek. They have just completed a chapel of their own at Angle Grove, and two sermons were preached on Sunday last by the Rev. Mr. Hansen (pastor of the circuit) to large congregations, the afternoon service being in English. The building, which is a neat structure, was prettily decorated with flowers and evergreens.” [Chronicle 14 Nov 1891]
“the first Lutheran members arrived in the district in 1874, and were visited by several ministers belonging to the Lutheran Synod of South Australia. Services were held in the houses of the congregation. In 1891 a church was built, but since then it had become too small, and it had now been found necessary to build a larger structure in a more central position. . . Rev. J. E. Hansen has been the minister of the congregation for over 21 years, and laid the foundation-stone of the first church some 18 years ago.” [Chronicle 24 Apr 1909]
Here is a collection of the photos I took in this cemetery in November 2008. I had a personal reason for wanting to visit there, and I am most grateful that I had the opportunity to do so. None of these pictures have been edited in any way, nor have I made any attempt to remove any duplication. Where I can make a sensible comment on identification, I will do so, but if anybody can throw any light on what you see, please let me know. This is the church of St Pancratius just by the entrance adjacant to the R Papa Station on the Manila Light Rail Transit line. Thank you to joeyboie30 for your helpful comments and note
Hove Cemetery is one of Brighton and Hove's big 5, and my own local big cemetery, but is worth seeking out by any fan of cemeteries, or historical locations.
It's split in to two distinct sections, the south half having most of the historical statues and monuments, creating an amazing dense maze of historical features.
Just downhill from Lover's Leap over the Mississippi River a little path led off through the flowers. I followed it into the woods and came out in an old, old cemetery.

Inside Bowling Cemetery office, 1985. A large cemetery and some smaller cemeteries were run from here. No computers. A dial phone, a manual typewriter, paper, pens and huge registers were all the equipment provided or required. Oh yes, and a lot of local knowledge and experience.
That's a Hermes model 9 typewriter there. There was an identical one in use at Scholemoor office.
The local cemetery offices in Bradford no longer exist since things were centralised. The buildings were sold off.
