"This is the First Cemetery of Spanish-Portuguese Synagogue, Shearith Israel, at St. James Place just off Chatham Square in Chinatown. This cemetery dates to 1683. The Shearith Israel Jews emigrated from Brazil beginning in the mid-17th Century. " (forgotten-ny.com) It is really interesting to notice the population shift that has occurred in this part of town since the 1600's, yet the graveyards in which these different peoples have built remain very similar.

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.
ARKANSAS STATE VETERANS CEMETERY, North Little Rock, Ark. — Leaders from the Arkansas National Guard, the Governor's office, the Arkansas legislature, the Arkansas Department of Veterans Affairs, and veterans groups gathered to celebrate the exchange of land from the Arkansas National Guard's Camp Joseph T. Robinson to the Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery in North Little Rock, 20 October, 2020. A provision in the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act directed the land exchange which provided the cemetery with an additional 141 acres on the north and west sides of the existing cemetery, thereby nearly tripling the current land available to inter Arkansas Veterans.

Manzanar National Historic Site
For more than six decades, the large concrete obelisk in the Manzanar cemetery has memorialized not only the 150 internees who died here, but all 120,313 Japanese Americans confined by their own government during World War II.
The monument's Japanese Kanji characters read "Soul Consoling Tower" on the front and "Erected by the Manzanar Japanese, August 1943" on the back.
Today, the monument attracts thousands of visitors each year. Some come to reflect, worship, remember, or protest. These artifacts are some of the hundreds of offerings left on the monument since 2001.
My friend had a birthday party this weekend and we went to see a movie in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery--they project it on the wall of a mausoleum and you sit in the grass to watch it. I particularly thought the giant rusty warehouse structure along one side was interesting.
There's a neat cannon in the local cemetery. I suppose it'll be handy in case of zombies.

Lambeth Cemetery is one of three notable cemeteries within a short distance from one another.
This one covers a large flat area containing some beautiful fauna, and a good mix of modern and older monuments.
Just a small cemetery with only 105 graves. Not much changed since the picture I posted last week taken in the late 1920's or early 1930's. My grandparents visited together in early 1930's, but my Mother had visited with my Grandmother in summer of 1919 when still only 16. Then the grave was just a wooded cross in a field.
