Brompton Cemetery is one of London’s magnificent 7. Being centrally located it makes an amazing free attraction to visit in London. It’s not as rural as some of the other magnificent 7, having a more formal park feel. The most memorable part though is it has some of the most amazing statues, monuments and mausoleums, including the central circle packed with gravestones, creating a spectacular sight.

Description: Comb grave of W. M. Looperin Cub Cemetery, Overton Co., Tenn.

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.

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.

Was out doing some Volunteer Photos for Find-A-Grave Today and my adventures took me to the Pursely Church Cemetery, in Wayne Township, Greene County PA and the Pine Bank Cemetery in Gilmore Township, Greene County PA. Most of the photos from Pine Bank are my Carpenter Relatives as well as some allied families.

Lillian's grave was found off to the side under some branches. With the little lamb on top I figured it must have been a child's grave. I looked her up in ancestry and found her in the 1920 census. The census was taken in January and she was marked as being 3 1/2. She was born in NY, but her parents were listed as being born in Russia. I was hoping to find an obit, but was unable to locate one.
Well, then, this was easier than I thought it would be. There's the proof right there. Really, though, had to find out the place name history. Lazily, I just went to Wikipedia. It's the name of a Potawatomi chief, community, and straddles IL & WI.
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.
