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.
Old Cemetery, Stowmarket, Suffolk
Stowmarket Old Cemetery opened in 1855, after an Act of Parliament put an end to burials in urban churchyards. It soon proved too small for the town, which expanded rapidly in the second half of the century, and closed for burials in 1901 to be replaced by a much larger new cemetery across the road.
After many years of abandonment it was taken over by Stowmarket Town Council in 2007 and is maintained as a wildlife area. The two surviving cemetery chapels are no longer in use.
In 2013, a memorial to the twenty-eight victims of the 1871 Stowmarket factory explosion was unveiled in the Old Cemetery. Curiously, it only bears the names of the twenty-three people who were buried in the mass grave in the cemetery, and not the names of the five buried elsewhere.
Found this cemetery by accident; this in the part of Temperanceville which is in King Township. This would be a Free Church of Scotland cemetery, rather than a Church of Scotland cemetery.
Temperanceville, Ontario.
From faded Victorian splendour to kitsch-as-kitsch-can: the angels at St Patrick's Catholic cemetery express grief, hope, and the desire to protect lost loved ones even in the hereafter.
This little one seems happily oblivious to the sadness of his surroundings.

I'm not even going to try to untangle the first and second spousal and familial relationships other than to note that, in Scots tradition, wives did not automatically change surnames on marriage, so I think that the equivalent English usage would have been Meldrum née Tait
The cemetery was laid out in 1840. The lodge shown here was originally described as a chapel
The building stands by the entrance gates, which are at the eastern side of the cemetery.
Both the lodge and the gates were designed in 1839 by John Stephen (of Scott, Stephen & Gale).
I had to back in down this road to get to that position. Which wasn't all that hard. Getting my car actually CENTERED in front of the cathedral though kinda was. I gave up after getting it "close enough".
Description: Comb graves in Cub Cemetery, 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.

Redcar Cemetery
"The Paccitto family first came to the United Kingdom, in 1897/1898, (104 years ago) from Italy. Their first visit was understood to be temporary, and they returned shortly back to Italy. Late in 1898, the Paccitto family returned to England, and Giocoso Paccitto, began a chain of shops starting with a cafe premises/ice cream in Norton Road, Stockton. These premises have long since gone under the demolition bulldozer. They re-sited their shop premises, which are still there in Stockton, along Yarm Road/Dovecot Street junction.
Giocoso started the shops located in Redcar in 1924. The ‘Nova Bar’ on The Esplanade, Redcar, (now long gone) became a favourite for an ice cream in the early days of Redcar. If you are old enough you should be able to remember the premises, over the other side of the road from the pier ballroom.
The present Esplanade premises (next to M & S) are now owned by Mike & George Paccitto. Both premises were running side by side until the ‘Nova Bar’ was demolished. Shortly after this, the family business extended into the High Street. During this time the family expanded further, to the well-known seaside town of Scarborough.
A local thought is that people think that both the Redcar shops are connected all the way through from the High Street to The Esplanade. This is quite untrue, and is in fact separate shops." www.redcar.org
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.

The nearby burial ground is named for William Ramsey, who in 1886 formally deeded the land around several early graves as a cemetery. The oldest legible tombstone, dated 1862, bears the name of Rebecca Henning. Many burial sites are marked only with native stones. Some of Erath County's first pioneers and several war veterans are buried in Ramsey Cemetery. Some of the pioneers and their descendants who are interred there are members of the Patton, Robertson, Lancaster, Tudor, Hampton, Carr, Mitchell, and Wideman families. (1986) (Marker No. 4176)
