Located near Spring Creek, this cemetery began in 1891 on two acres of land donated by the Methodist church in the community known as Avo. The first recorded burial was that of Elender Cannon in February 1891. The Methodist church deeded two additional acres to the cemetery in 1892.
When the railroad was extended into this area in 1902, businesses began to grow east of Spring Creek about three miles. Avo was renamed Avoca when the town moved to this location., Spring Creek cemetery is one of the only remaining landmarks left from the original townsite. The cemetery contains more than 1,000 burials, including Confederate Civil War veteran Patrick White, who was buried in February 1928. Veterans of World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam are also buried here.
Additional land was donated in 1950 by the Avoca school system and by the Methodist church in 1971. Maintenance of the cemetery and its grounds began in the late 1890s with donations and an annual community workday organzied by H.E. Culwell. Still a source of pride, the cemetery continues to serve as a burial site for Avoca and local area towns. (1996) (Marker No. 5013)

London Road Cemetery in Coventry is one of the best preserved Victorian cemeteries in the country. It was founded in 1845 and opened in 1847. It is on the site of a former quarry, was designed by Joseph Paxton and is laid out on different levels, with lawns, trees and terraces to give a park-like appearance.
David Faulkenberry, believed to have been born in South Carolina circa 1795, wed Nancy Douthit in 1814 in Tennessee. The couple had seven children. The family was part of Daniel Parker's Pilgrim Church, an Illinois congregation that came to Texas in 1833.
The Faulkenberrys and others from the church, including Elisha Anglin, moved to present-day Limestone County in 1835. They built cabins and Fort Parker for protection against Native Americans. David and his oldest son, Evan, were killed in an attack in 1837 near Fort Houston.
Nancy later wed Elisha Anglin and established this cemetery. Her descendants formally deeded it as a graveyard in 1874, and the city annexed the cemetery and its additions in 1979.
The first marked burial, dating to 1854, is that of a child. Among the gravesites are those of two state representatives, five sheriffs, an early Texas Ranger, many veterans from military action dating back to the Texas Revolution, and John C. Clariman, a longtime caretaker of the cemetery. Today, the cemetery is a link to Limestone County's 19th-century settlers and their descendants. (2003) (Marker No. 13011)

Such a moving place. The sense of loss there you feel is unbearable, and the amount of gratitude I have for these young men -and women- is amazing. I was a bit of an emotional wreck here. I dread to think what I'll be like when I visit France & Flanders later on in the year.

Greenwood Cemetery open in 1869 after being converted from a farm, and covers 43 acres. It is on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. Benjamin Rush (a signer of the Declaration of Independence) lived on the farm in the late 1700s. Over the years, Greenwood's fortunes declined. The cemetery became a target for vandalism and many headstones were toppled and broken. Maintenance became sporadic and vegetation began to consume the cemetery. Only the front third of the cemetery is cleared enough to walk through unimpeded. The rear of the cemetery has reverted to forest with trees springing up through the middle of graves. It is not an unusual sight to see a headstone pinioned between two trees. The Knights of Pythias, upset over conditions at Greenwood, tried unsuccessfully to have their name removed from the cemetery. The court has appointed Gloria Boyd & Kevin Lynch custodians of the cemetery on a temporary basis. They are in charge of getting the grounds in repair and arranging burials. The decision on a permanent owner will be at a later date.
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!

Gaylor family monument, Miner Cemetery, Middletown, Connecticut. Grave of Gilbert Gaylor, d. 1912 and wife Mary Link Gaylor, d. 1929.
Heinrich Warncke (1839-1908), Elisabeth Eitzmann Warncke (1844-1921) and their two children emigrated from Germany to Ohio in 1868. Within several years their growing family joined other German settlers in New Berlin. Between 1876 and 1882 they purchased nearly 400 acres of land out of which they set aside this cemetery. Five graves remain unidentified, but the earliest dated burial is that of one-year-old Anna Helmke who died in 1880. The Warnckes' grandson, Elmer G. Bloch (1918-1943), a World War II casualty buried overseas, is honored here. The site continues to serve the descendants of Guadalupe County's pioneers. (2001) (Marker No. 13771)
[120/366] This picture was taken at the Brooklands Cemetery, Sale. It's a really incredible place to wonder around and explore - many of the headstones are very old and quite impressive. It is also the resting place of scientist James Joule and his family.
