Juedischer Friedhof Kuppenheim,

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.
These pictures were all taken on a really bright, moonlit night with my camera sitting on a stone wall for long exposures. Most of them were done without flash.
Adolphus Busch was born July 10, 1839 in Kastel near Mainz, Germany. He the youngest of 21 children of Ulrick and Barbara Busch. He came to St. Louis in 1857. He started a brewery supply company.. One of his customers was Eberhart Anheuser the owner of a small brewery in St Louis. It was through his business dealing that he met Lily Anheuser, whom he married in 1861. Eberhart Anheuser could produce beer but was not a good marketer and fell behind in his bill payments to his son-in-law Aldolphus. Eberhart offered Adolphus part ownership of the fledging firm and in 1864 Adolphus began working for the firm, from that point forward the company expanded. The firm's name was changed to Anheuser-Busch in 1879. In 1880 Eberhart Anheuser died and Adolphus became the president. In 1901 Anheuser-Busch sold over a million barrels of beer for the first time. Adolphus died October 10, 1913 and is interred in the Busch mausoleum beside his wife Lily.
By the 1870s Grand Haven's Central Park was filling up with bodies so a new cemetery site had to be found. In 1873 the first burial took place in this cemetery. In the 1880s all the remains in Central Park were dug up and moved here. The cemetery is still in use and has room for many future residents.

Samuel D. Gross (8 July 1805 – 6 May 1884) was an American academic trauma surgeon. Surgeon biographer Isaac Minis Hays called Gross "The Nestor of American Surgery."
Born near Easton, Pennsylvania, Gross attended Wilkes-Barre Academy and Lawrenceville High School. He graduated from Jefferson Medical College in 1828. Cited as the most distinguished surgeon of his times, his 1859 two-volume System of Surgery is perhaps his best known work.
Gross died in Philadelphia at age 79. He was cremated at Le Moyne Crematory and his ashes were buried in The Woodlands Cemetery (Wagner & Savacool, 1996, p.428-429).
He is the subject of The Gross Clinic, a famous 1875 painting by Thomas Eakins.
