Headstone of Jonah Parke, taken 10/2/10, Sappington Cemetery, Crestwood, MO. Very interesting because this newish headstone specifies the name of his wife. The cemetery was started by the Sappingtons.
Highgate Cemetery East was the first London Cemetery I visited after my interest in cemeteries started, and it ranks as one of my all time favourites. As you enter you enter your greeted by a huge array of impressive monuments, and there are more than a few famous names as you look around, including the monument to Karl Marx.
As you head deeper in it becomes incredibly rural, you could almost forget your in London. In the woods though is an unbelievably high number of headphones densely packed in the woods. There’s lots to see on the main paths, but the real joy comes when you wander down some of the less used paths and find one of many hidden sights to find. A must visit for any UK cemetery enthusiast.
FALL FROM ÇLIFF.
FATE OF LITTLE GIRL.
FOUND DROWNED IN SEA.
ACCIDENT AT SHELLY BEACH.
LOOKING FOR PLACE TO SIT.
Wandering away from her companions at Shelly Beach, Ponsonby, shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Gladys May Crowley, aged 10, fell from a cliff and was drowned. The child resided with her parents in Virginia Avenue, Eden Terrace.
The girl went to the beach with a brother and a girl friend. In searching for a place where the three could sit down, she disappeared from sight. Her companions became curious regarding her absence, and the body was then seen in the water near the foot of the cliff. The child had apparently fallen a distance of about 20ft.
Artificial respiration, applied by members of the Ponsonby Life-Saving Club, and the assistance of a doctor proved fruitless. An injury on the girl's head was evidently sustained in the fall, and this may have accounted for the fact that no call of distress was heard. The fatality occurred at the corner, of Point Erin Park which faces the upper harbour, and the shore at this point hidden from the baths.

YOUNG GIRL'S DEATH.
FALL FROM CLIFF INTO SEA.
The circumstances of the death of Gladys May Crowley, aged 10, of 70, Virginia Avenue, Newton, who fell from a cliff at Point Erin Park on March 3 and was found lying face downwards in the tide, were inquired into at an inquest yesterday, before Mr. W. R. McKean, S.M., coroner.
Companions of the girl gave evidence that she sat on a cliff at the Point and suddenly slipped out of sight. She was found lying in the water, and efforts to revive her proved fruitless. Bruce Crowley, brother of the girl, said that on two previous occasions his sister had fallen in the water. She had very bad eyesight.
A verdict of death by drowning following an accidental fall was returned.

Millgrove Cemetery was also known as Grove Free Burying Ground and dates back to the mid 1800's.
Located in Millgrove section of Hamilton.
This tombstone is of a 4 year old boy who died in 1845. Also of interest is the diagonal repair line of the tombstone on the bottom left side.
I used to live very close to this little cemetery. It is quite overgrown and neglected and the signs have all gone, hopefully to be replaced because this cemetery is part of the old Stuart town history. Stuart was renamed Alice Springs in 1933. The cemetery is on a little corner of George Crescent looked over by the railway line as it comes into the railway station. There is a pedestrian walkway along the railway line, across the tracks and into the town. The passenger train which travels from Adelaide 3,000k to Darwin or vice versa is called "The Ghan" in honour of the Afghan (and Pakistani) cameleers, and in the background of this photo is a statue commemorating the vital role of cameleers and their camels in the servicing of Central Australia before the railway reached Stuart in 1929.
The well-fed cemetery fat cat does a 'Garfield' impression and sleeps in the sun. There was a cheeky Magpie just out of shot to the right. No-one seemed bothered with the others.

How close do you go for a nature shot? This was the photographic equivalent of a bayonet charge. This wild fox left fox snot on the front of my lens while checking out if it was good to eat.
It lives in the City of London Cemetery, Aldersbrook Road and is so tame it will take food from your hand. I'd just given him/her some of my toast when it sidled up and stuck its nose on the front of my camera to check it out.
Ahhhh!
The Hooglede German war cemetery (Deutscher Soldatenfriedhof Hooglede in German) is a military cemetery in the Belgian town of Hooglede, six kilometres northwest of Roeselare. It is located at the east side of Hooglede. It contains 8,241 buried German soldiers from World War I.
On October 19, 1914, Hooglede was occupied by German soldiers. The Hooglede cemetery in the Beverenstraat arose in 1917 when the cemetery in Hooglede was no longer sufficient for the mounting deathtoll. There were some new cemeteries, including "Ehrenfriedhof Hooglede Ost Beveren" along the street. After the liberation by the French, approximately 4100 German soldiers were buried in the soil of Hooglede.
The German cemeteries were supervised by the Belgian military service of tombs, but in 1926 all the cemeteries were the responsibility of the Amtlicher Deutscher Gräberdienst. Between 1932 and 1937, this service was responsible for the German cemetery in the Beverenstraat. Many graves in various cemeteries in Hooglede, Gits, Handzame, Torhout, and Lichtervelde were sent to Hooglede. The graves then were marked by crosses.
In 1937, a chapel was built using stones from a German pavilion at the World Exhibition in Paris. During World War II, an addition 29 German soldiers were buried at the cemetery. These soldiers were later sent to another cemetery.
After the Second World War, the supervision of the cemetery was again in the hands of the Belgian organization "Nos Tombs". Not much later, in 1954, the monitoring was taken over by the German War Graves Commission (Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge in German).
Numerous German graves dispersed over the country were transferred between 1956 and 1958 from 128 cemeteries to the four cemeteries in the Flemish part of Belgium. Hooglede is one of the four main German cemeteries in Belgium. The others being in Langemark, Vladslo, Menen.
During the renovation works in Hooglede in 1957-58, the entrance arches of the chapel were reduced to nine. This change came in two phases. The crosses were also replaced by nameplates. After 1960, no more major works were performed.
My sister Jeanne and I were on a tour of Gold Country in the Grass Valley/ Nevada City area, organized by Golden Gate University in San Francisco.
"Nunhead Cemetery is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries in London, England. It is perhaps the least famous and celebrated of them. The cemetery is located in the Nunhead area of southern London and was originally known as All Saints' Cemetery. Nunhead Cemetery was consecrated in 1840 and opened by the London Necropolis Company. It is a Local Nature Reserve.
"Consecrated in 1840, with an Anglican chapel designed by Thomas Little, it is one of the Magnificent Seven Victorian cemeteries established in a ring around what were then the outskirts of London. The first burial was of Charles Abbott, a 101-year-old Ipswich grocer; the last burial was of a volunteer soldier who became a canon of Lahore Cathedral. The first grave in Nunhead was dug in October 1840. The average annual number of burials there over the last ten years, has been 1685: 1350 in the consecrated, and 335 in the unconsecrated ground.
"In the cemetery were reinterred remains removed, in 1867 and 1933, from the site of the demolished St Christopher le Stocks church in the City of London.
"The cemetery contains examples of the imposing monuments to the most eminent citizens of the day, which contrast sharply with the small, simple headstones marking common or public burials. By the middle of the 20th century the cemetery was nearly full, and so was abandoned by the United Cemetery Company. With the ensuing neglect, the cemetery gradually changed from lawn to meadow and eventually to woodland. It is now a Local Nature Reserve and Site of Metropolitan Importance for wildlife, populated with songbirds, woodpeckers and tawny owls. A lack of care and cash surrendered the graves to the ravages of nature and vandalism, but in the early 1980s the Friends of Nunhead Cemetery were formed to renovate and protect the cemetery.
"The cemetery was reopened in May 2001 after an extensive restoration project funded by Southwark Council and the Heritage Lottery Fund. Fifty memorials were restored along with the Anglican Chapel."

Woodhaven and Yellowstone, Queens
The Remsen Cemetery is a tangible reminder of the colonial past of this section of Queens. Typical of the small private cemeteries that were favored by early eettlers, it commemorates one of New York's earliest families and the role it played in both the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War. The plot has been preserved and maintained by various local organizations and citiiins within the community.
The Remsen family ancestors immigrated to America in the 17th century from nor*hern Germany and eventually settled in Queens County. The founding father of th. clan in America was Rem Jansen Van der Beeck; his sons adopted the surname Remset, One son, Abraham Remsen,settled at Hempstead Swamp, as this area of Queens County was then called, and had a son named Jeromus. Jeromus lived on the paternal farm and had a son, also named Jeromus, born on November 22, 1735. It is not known if the younger Jeromus grew up to live on or simply near the family homestead. The younger Jercmus served during the French and Indian War of 1757 and became active in Whig politics prior to the Revolutionary War.
After the Continental Congress of 1774 was established the inhabitants of New Towne (Newtown) assembled at the request of Jarwmus Rempen and appointed a committee to insure adherence to congressional measures within the limits of the town. Jeroraus Remsen was a member and clerk of the county committee. Later he was appointed colonel over half the militia of Kings and Queens counties and joined forces under the brigade of General Greene in Brooklyn. These American forces were routed at the Battle of Long Island and after thei ' retreat Colonel Remsen was forced to flee to safety in New Jersey, where he resided until the war's end. Jeromus had married Ann(a), daughter of Cornelius Rapelje, on April 31, 1768, She bore him seven children of whom only three sons survived infancy. Jeromus died in 1790 while Anna lived until 1816.
The original cemetery lay solely within the property of the Remsen family, and it is typical of the private family cemeteries favored by New York's colonial settlers. In a February 23, 1887 article in a Kings County newspaper the cemetery was described as lying between the old Remsen house and the Suydam homestead, neither of which survive. This small cemetery is believed to have been used from the mid- 18th through the 19th centuries for Remsen family members. The oldest known grave is that of Jeromus Remsen, from 1790. In a survey of 1925, the graves and grave-stones of eight Remsen family members were identified.
These included those of Colonel Jeromus Remsen, his wife Ann(a) Remsen, a Jeromus Remsen -who vas probably their son, three Remsen children, a Bridget Remsen, and Major Abraham Rewsian, who is described as the colonel's brother. Presently the cemetery features a group of three, brownstone gravestones near Alderton Avenue, formerly Orville Stryat. (the two Jeromus Remsens and Anna Remscrj), two along the northwesterly perimeter (Jerome Remsen and Ann Elizabeth Remsen), and the remnants of another tombstone along the southern property line (Bridget Remsen). These tombstones date from 1790 through 1819. Recently, commemorative gravestones have been erected by the Veterans Administration in honor of Col. Remsen, Major Abraham Remsen, and their two brothers Aert Remsen and Garrett Remsen, who were also Revolutionary War officers. A World War I memorial, honoring the community's service in that war, occupies the center of the cemetery. It consists of two doughboy statues flanking a flagpole.
The Remsen cemetery remains an important element in the community commemorating an early New York family and their contributions to our heritage.
