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, HĂ©genheim's lord.
The israelit community spent 77 pounds and 10 schillings for this land. The lord of HĂ©genheim 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.

Description: Comb grave in Old Union Cemetery in Overton Co., Tenn.

Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.

Elmwood Cemetery is a 50-acre municipal cemetery established in Norfolk County (now in the City ofNorfolk), Virginia, in 1853. It is contiguous with Norfolk's first public cemetery, Cedar Grove, established in 1825. Elmwood is filled with an abundance of Victorian funerary art and displays a wealth of material culture relating to the Victorian attitudes toward death and mourning. It contains the graves of individuals and groups who made noteworthy contributions to the city, state, and nation. The works of both local and nationally recognized artisans, sculptors and stonemasons may be found there. It contains abundant resources for the study of the social, political, economic, cultural and ethnic heritage of the area. Elmwood continues to serve as an active city cemetery. Elmwood Cemetery is locally significant under Criteria A and C and areas of significance are Social History, Art, Architecture, and Landscape Architecture. The property is locally significant under Criterion B as the final resting place for numerous individuals whose contributions to Norfolk's development are significant, as well as historic figures who achieved prominence on a statewide or larger scale, in particular the following individuals: Littleton Waller Tazewell, Sr., Hugh Blair Grigsby, James Barron Hope, David Minton Wright, Walter Herron Taylor, Robert Morton Hughes, William Sloane, Williams. Forrest, and Lycurgus Berkley, Sr. Elmwood Cemetery meets Criteria Considerations C and D as it derives significance from its association with historic events and individuals and its design characteristics. Elmwood's period of significance begins with the establishment of the cemetery in 1853 and ends with the construction of the Superintendent's Office in 1931.

Masonic Cemetery (technically, I think it's Masonic Cemetery #1 & #2) is located on City Park Avenue in New Orleans near a number of other historic cemeteries. It's on a triangular plot bisected by Conti Street (perhaps the two halves are considered #1 & #2?). It was founded in 1865 by the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana Free and Accepted Masons.

Arlington National Cemetery is located in Virginia across the Potomac River from Washington D.C. The more than 600 acre site is home to brave patriots who gave their lives in our nation’s conflicts beginning with the Civil War. The cemetery was established during the Civil War on the grounds of Arlington House, which was the estate of Confederate general Robert E. Lee and his wife Mary Anna Custis Lee. Mrs Lee was the great-granddaughter of Martha Washington, George Washington’s wife.

This cemetery is up in the woods in the middle of Bear Mountain State Park, and served the families of Doodletown while the town was active, and even after (I saw a few headstones placed after the town was abandoned in the 50's). Some of the stones were so old they were just little nuggets that could hardly trip you if you walked past them. Most of the stones were from the late 1800's and early 1900's.
Rookwood Cemetery (officially named Rookwood Necropolis) is the largest multicultural necropolis in the Southern Hemisphere, located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Rookwood is also considered to be a suburb, close to Lidcombe railway station about 17 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district.
It is estimated that approximately one million people have been buried at Rookwood, which covers an area of over 300 hectares. The "Friends of Rookwood Inc" is a voluntary organisation dedicated to preserving the site. As the largest Victorian era cemetery still in operation in the world, Rookwood is of significant national and historical importance.
Some older sections of Rookwood are overgrown with a riot of plants, early horticultural plants, some now large trees or groves, as well as an interesting array of remnant indigenous flora. This results in quite an eclectic mix of flora to be found within the necropolis.
Here rests the sweetest buds of hope.

This cemetery, probably named for noted pioneer educator D. R. Wood, was established with the 1858 burial of Sarah E. Shipman, wife of prominent local rancher John K. Shipman. More than 20 additional burials were recorded before John Shipman deeded 11.5 acres here for cemetery, church, and school purposes in 1877. The cemetery contains grave sites of many area pioneer settlers and their descendants and veterans of the Civil War and World Wars I and II. Wood Cemetery remains active and is maintained by an association of descendants of persons buried here. (1994) (Marker No. 5896)
I was looking for the Westwood Memorial Cemetery in the same area but I ended up here on Wilshire Blvd and Sepulveda Blvd coincidentally. Got to see different sections inside the cemetery.

The first burial in this cemetery was that of the Rev. William J. Kirkpatrick, a local Cumberland Presbyterian Minister, who died on May 1, 1867. Shortly after his death, a congregation organized by the Rev. W.G.L. Quaite was named in Kirkpatrick's honor, and a place of worship was constructed later near the gravesite. Land surrounding Kirkpatrick's grave was part of the plantation of Confederate veteran Major Henry Pannill. Pannill's son Joseph died in October 1867 and was buried near Kirkpatrick's gravesite. The following year Pannill deeded some of his land around the burial sites to trustees of the Kirkpatrick Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
Within the next decade the community of Telico grew up around the church building and cemetery. After the turn of the century, however, people began abandoning the village for the conveniences of the railroad town of Ennis (6 mi. W), and the cemetery fell into a period of neglect.
Telico Cemetery serves as a reminder of the hardships faced by area pioneers. Of the more than 300 known graves, 45 date before 1882 and almost half are of children under the age of ten. Since 1937 the Telico Cemetery Association has cared for the grounds. (1983) (Marker No. 7155)
