Spending three hours in Passy Cemetery was a wonderful experience. There is little in the world to match the peace and quiet, the dense collection of art, and the timeless beauty that is found there. Unless, of course, you visit some of the other Parisian cemeteries.
I learned that many of the now famous artists of Paris from the turn of the 20th century created art that is found in Passy. I have to assume they created and sold cemetery art to keep food on the table until they were "discovered".

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.
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.

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.

Julius Driver (1795-1883) migrated from Georgia in 1852, buying some Faulkenberry headright land, and later giving 4.5 acres for this cemetery. A daughter-in-law, Mary Groover (Mrs. William G.) Driver, was first person buried here, in 1869. Driver also gave site in 1878 for nearby Hicks Spring Church and school. There the Confederate veterans of Freestone County had their first reunion in 1890. The recorded deed of cemetery to the public was made by a subsequent landowner, John Hays, in 1901. The Driver Cemetery Association has governed the property since 1915. There are now 673 graves. (1975) (Marker No. 9872)
