Captain John Alexander Macdonald Allan, Royal Air Force. Killed on 20th May 1918, aged 23. Son of Mrs. Margaret Macdonald Allan, of "Rockvale," Waikari, North Canterbury, New Zealand, and the late Alexander Allan.
"Capt John Allan a 23year old New Zealander he was born into a farming family near Christchurch. He learnt to fly on his parents farm. He joined the RNAS and was sent to France where he was wounded in the leg. He was transferred to Redcar as an instructor on the Sopwith Camel a biplane very popular during WW1 mainly for reconnaissance over enemy territory. He was demonstrating a technique for coming out of a dive when his plane crashed just off Redcar Lane. This was witnessed by the late Vera Robinson M.B.E. and her mother. Her mother vowed she would look after this young airman's grave which she did. In the meantime his mother and her brother came over to Redcar with the intention of taking his body back home. When she saw how well it was tended she decided to erect a suitable memorial stone instead. She ordered a massive granite obelisk from a firm in Loftus. She sought out Vera's mother thanked her and gave Vera and her siblings money. We were fascinated by this young airman's exploits so we wrote to the Christchurch newspaper and they published the story which got back to the family and they wrote telling us who was who in the family. Over the years the weather took it's toll on the memorial and alas the pinnacle came down. After searching to find someone to re erect it because it was in a remote part of the cemetery we managed to get Mike Wetheral a well known stone mason from Danby to repair it and also try and get rid of the the acid rain stains from each rim. We obtained funding from the Heritage Lottery fund but unfortunately it was not done in time for seven members of his immediate family to come over and visit his grave. They were delighted to meet 100 year old Vera and it became part of our video 'Redcar Remembers' (still on youtube ) a reflection of WW1 in Redcar"

Mulkey 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/)

I like taking macro close ups of flowers, and also I like landscape photography. I don't believe in using photo editing software, although I am not against others using it, if they wish to, I have on rare occasions used it, but mostly what you see, is what I have taken as a photographer, and not spicing it up with software, or cropping the photo up, as I believe I should take the photo good enough in the first place, that I don't need photo editing software. This photo has had no editing software after it was taken, it's as I took it from the camera.

"LAST OF THE “ALARM BOYS”
Death Ends Career of a Gallant Lifeboatman
William R. PICKNETT
Over half a century ago Redcar heard for the last time the beating of the drum sounded by the Redcar lifeboat “alarm boy”. That boy, the last to parade the streets of the town drumming out the crew of the lifeboat to do their duty was William R. Picknett, whose death (reported briefly in last week’s “Standard”) occurred last Thursday last.
A native of Redcar, born in South Terrace, where he lived for the whole of his 69 years, Mr. Picknett came from generations of fishermen, and throughout his life he was closely associated with the sea. He joined the Redcar lifeboat as a youth of 17, and before that was the “alarm boy,” whose duty it was to call in the crew of the lifeboat by parading the town beating the drum, a practice which was later replaced by the rocket system of alarm. He was the last of the “alarm boys.”
As a seventeen-year-old member of the lifeboat crew Mr. Picknett had his first taste of duty when the lifeboat was launched to the rescue of those aboard the “Priscilla”
This was the beginning of a career that ended Thursday night with the record of 44 years active service as a lifeboat man, during which time he had helped to save no fewer than 112 lives. His record was suitably recognised by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution when he was presented with illuminated vellum recording their appreciation. Mr. Picknett was ill at the time and the presentation was made privately at his home three weeks ago by Captain J. T. Shaw, secretary of the Redcar Lifeboat Committee. There was to have been a public ceremony later.
WITH THE OLD “EMMA”
Mr. Picknett started his “life saving career” with the old “Free Gardeners” lifeboat “Emma,” which was, in those days, stationed in what is now the old boathouse. The lifeboat was privately owned.
He was about nineteen years of age when he had to go out with the lifeboat to what is considered to have been one of the worst shipwrecks known in this part of the coast. The ship in distress was the “Semarang,” and it had got into difficulties in wild seas off Saltburn. The lifeboat of the Institution at Redcar, the Free Gardeners’ and the Saltburn boat went out and 14 lives were saved.
Mr. Picknett received his training with the privately owned “Emma,” and before joining the Institution crew he had helped to save some scores of lives.
It is difficult to estimate the number of lives he has actually saved or helped to save, as his role as a life-saver included what would have been called “petty rescues” of bathers in difficulties and people stranded on the rocks, cut off by the tide. Of these incidents no records were kept and it is safe to say that over 200 people owed their lives to the pluck of Mr. Picknett.
As a fisherman Mr. Picknett had his own life to save on several occasions. He was one of the men in the tragic fishing disaster of a few years ago when the crews of two fishing cobbles, six fishermen in all, were drowned. He and his two mates managed to get ashore at Marske.
In January, 1901, Mr. Picknett and 6 other fishermen were going out to assist a trawler near Marske when their boat capsized. Three men were drowned Mr. Picknett was one of the four who were saved.
Mr. Picknett after took part in sea rescue with his brother in an ordinary fishing cobble before coming a member of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution crew.
THE FUNERAL
With full honours accorded by the R.N.L.I. the funeral of the ‘gallant gentleman’ took place at Redcar. The service was held at the Parish Church on 22nd, January, 1934, and internment at Redcar Cemetery. The coffin was covered with a R.N.L.I. flag pennant whilst outside the Lifeboat Station was at half mast.
The cortege head was led by the Coastguards followed by crews of the Redcar & Teesmouth Lifeboats.
A notable figure at the funeral was Mr. Thomas Robin Picknett, uncle of the dead man, who was now nearing his 90th birthday. He was a member of the Lifeboat crew for a very long period."

St. John Cemetery, Cincinnati is located at 4423 Vine Street, in St. Bernard, Ohio. This Roman Catholic cemetery was founded in 1849, during a raging cholera epidemic. Many of Cincinnati's other cemeteries were already full of the victims. Many of Cincinnati's oldest German families are buried in this cemetery and the old stones are written in German.

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)

Swampscott Cemetery retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and meets criteria A and C for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, at the local level of significance. The cemetery qualifies for listing under Criterion A due to its strong association with the history of the town of Swampscott, which was set off from Lynn in 1852. Early burials in the area that is now Swampscott took place in Lynn's cemeteries. Swampscott Cemetery was established in 1852 as one of the first acts of the new community, and has continued to serve as the town's only cemetery for 160 years. The cemetery meets Criterion C as a well-preserved late 19th- and early 20th-century cemetery that reflects the evolving design of burial grounds and funerary monuments in New England during this period. The integration of natural and built elements is a reflection of the 19th -century rural cemetery movement as adapted to a municipal cemetery. While Swampscott Cemetery has four sections (A, B, C, and D) that reflect the chronological evolution of the grounds, only sections A, B, and C are included in this nomination. Section D, which is physically separated from the rest of the cemetery by Capen Road, is excluded because it postdates 1963, the end of the period of significance.

Description: Comb grave of Edward Fuqua in Honey Springs Cemetery in Overton Co., Tenn.
Date: February 11, 2013
Creator: Dr. Richard Finch
Collection name: Richard C. Finch Folk Graves Digital Photograph Collection
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.
