Luper Cemetery is near Eugene, Lane County, Oregon, and is one of the earliest pioneer cemeteries in the southern Willamette Valley. The site is also known as Irving Cemetery or Baker Cemetery. The first grave site was in 1857, although records indicate that the cemetery began in 1859, when land was donated by Thomas and Elizabeth Baker. The cemetery is named for James Luper, an 1852 pioneer from Illinois, who settled nearby in an area known for a time as Luper, Oregon. James Luper owned the land surrounding the cemetery. A grave site location service has identified 160 graves, many of pioneer families. (www.lupercemetery.com/)
This burial ground, which extends along Pin Oak Creek, has served the rural Pin Oak settlement, as well as the surrounding Gause, Hanover and Liberty communities. Most of the area settlers, the earliest of whom were here by the 1850s, took advantage of the area's fertile soil and engaged in agriculture. Many early Pin Oak settlers were related, with a number coming from Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, and Morgan and Marshall Counties in Alabama. the settlers established a school prior to the Civil War, which served Pin Oak until it consolidated with the Milano Independent School District in 1949.
This property was deeded by Walker P. Perkins for use as a cemetery in 1896, when he conveyed it to trustees W.H. Spinks, R.T. Littleton and John Ditto. the earliest known burials, of Charles Shafer and then James D. Faubion, occurred in 1861, though there may be older unmarked graves. Cemetery features include vertical stones, curbing and obelisks. Among the interred are veterans of conflicts dating to the Civil War.
The Pin Oak community began to decline after World War II, as many residents followed the national trend in moving to urban areas for employment opportunities. The cemetery deteriorated, but concerned family members worked to preserve the burial ground. Today, residents of the deceased continue to care for the cemetery, which serves as a record of the pioneering men and women of the Pin Oak community. (2008) (Marker No. 15728)

Bonaventure Cemetery is a semi-rural cemetery located on a scenic bluff of the Wilmington River, east of Savannah, Georgia.
The cemetery became famous when it was featured in the 1994 novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt, and in the movie, directed by Clint Eastwood, based on the book. It is the largest of the city's municipal cemeteries, containing nearly 160 acres (0.65 km2).
The cemetery is located on the site of a plantation originally owned by John Mullryne. On March 10, 1846, Commodore Josiah Tattnall, Jr., sold the 600-acre (2.4 km2) Bonaventure Plantation and its private cemetery to Peter Wiltberger. Major William H. Wiltberger, the son of Peter, formed the Evergreen Cemetery Company on June 12, 1868. On July 7, 1907 the City of Savannah purchased the Evergreen Cemetery Company, making the cemetery public and changing the name to Bonaventure Cemetery.
Something about the arrangement and light around these tombs draws me to shoot them again. Locksbrook Cemetery is pretty big and rather run down. Near my house, it makes for a peaceful diversion on the way to the shops.
There are a couple of monochrome versions of this view in my collection.
Placerville received its name because of placer mining in the vicinity. The ghost town is located 17 miles East of Horseshoe Bend. The townsite was selected December 1, 1862; and by December 16 there were 6 cabins in the camp. By the early summer of 1863, the town had 300 buildings and a population of 5,000.
Mulkey Pioneer 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 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)
April 12, 2015 - For over 300 years this was the only burial ground permitted for Jews in Prague. The last burial occurred in 1787. It is thought that over 100,000 people were laid to rest here, due to lack of space bodies were buried one on top of the other and records indicate there are up to twelve layers.
The cemetery is in very poor condition. It doesn't look as if anyone has taken care of it for years. Some of the headstones date from the early 1800's. There are many infants and young children interred in these old country cemeteries.
Evergreen Cemetery in the East End of Richmond is overgrown, volunteer to reclaim it from Mother Nature.
The cemetery has been created in 1673, following a part of the land's purchase at the border of the Letzbach.
This land has been sold in the 9th of January 1673 to Achille of Barenfels, Hégenheim's lord.
The israelit community spent 77 pounds and 10 schillings for this land. The lord of Hégenheim also put a tax on the interment, which was one florin per adults, half a florin per teen and a quarter of florin per child.
This cemetery then took a big place in the city, with the israelit community's members of the neighboor cities wanting to be buried there.
