It was a nice day to track my paternal grandparents....the snow was light and leant a hush to the scene.
Silverton Cemetery is in the desert near the ghost town. Silverton was established in the 1880s after miners came to the region seeking silver. Lead and zinc was also found in the region. Most miners moved on to the larger centre of Broken Hill nearby and Silverton gradually dwindled towards becoming a ghost town. It has been maintained as a tourist destination. Located in far western New South Wales in Australia.
This is the sign by the McHenry grave at the cemetery at Westminster Hall in Baltimore, Maryland. James McHenry (November 16, 1753 – May 3, 1816) was a signer of the United States Constitution from Maryland and the namesake of Fort McHenry. He was a delegate to the Continental Congress from Maryland, and the third United States Secretary of War (1796–1800), under presidents George Washington and John Adams.
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.

Tehran Commonwealth Cemetery situated in Dowlat Street. Here lay the remains of soldier who died during World War II in Iran. Most of them had originally an Asian decent such as Indian and Chines with few British soldier, but they mostly had British Nationality or they were working with the Alleys. Interestingly there were three Dutch people buried here as well, but they were all from Chines decent. I took this picture because this was the only headstone not standing upright. But don't worry it was a very green and peaceful cemetery and the British Embassy and other European Embassies donate money for its maintenance.

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.
