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.
There's a neat cannon in the local cemetery. I suppose it'll be handy in case of zombies.

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.
In December, I participated in "Wreaths Across American." Thanks to all of the Veteran's who risked their lives for us. We are "linked" together.

Bonaventure Cemetery is a semi-rural cemetery located on a scenic bluff of the Wilmington River, east of Savannah, Georgia.
The cemetery became famous when it was featured in the 1994 novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt, and in the movie, directed by Clint Eastwood, based on the book. It is the largest of the city's municipal cemeteries, containing nearly 160 acres (0.65 km2).
The cemetery is located on the site of a plantation originally owned by John Mullryne. On March 10, 1846, Commodore Josiah Tattnall, Jr., sold the 600-acre (2.4 km2) Bonaventure Plantation and its private cemetery to Peter Wiltberger. Major William H. Wiltberger, the son of Peter, formed the Evergreen Cemetery Company on June 12, 1868. On July 7, 1907 the City of Savannah purchased the Evergreen Cemetery Company, making the cemetery public and changing the name to Bonaventure Cemetery.

Cemeteries can be creepy, but they also have nice sightlines.

Caught this girl, who couldn’t be more than 12 years old, walking on this dirt road, through the cemetery. Her house was further up the road. Actually, I’ve had to lighten up this photo, otherwise the sun had long gone down and it was dark out. She might be used to walking this path on a daily basis, but I still wonder how many times she thinks of life and death.
