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.

ARKANSAS STATE VETERANS CEMETERY, North Little Rock, Ark. — Leaders from the Arkansas National Guard, the Governor's office, the Arkansas legislature, the Arkansas Department of Veterans Affairs, and veterans groups gathered to celebrate the exchange of land from the Arkansas National Guard's Camp Joseph T. Robinson to the Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery in North Little Rock, 20 October, 2020. A provision in the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act directed the land exchange which provided the cemetery with an additional 141 acres on the north and west sides of the existing cemetery, thereby nearly tripling the current land available to inter Arkansas Veterans.
The Washington Family Cemetery is today located on the site where George Washington's Great Grandfather first built a small house. The cemetery that is here today bears no resemblance to the cemetery that George Washington visited during his youth. In 1930 the remains that originally rested here were collected and placed into a single casket and reburied them under the large monument at the center of the cemetery.

Took a walk through Fairlee Cemetery which is not far from the Quay in Newport.
The light was lovely and made great shadows.

Do people put up grave markers like this anymore? Most of the cemeteries really like the flat ones that won't be too badly damaged by lawn mowers. Early 20th century grave marker, Spring Creek Cemetery, Goldendale, Washington. (Not an ancestor, I just liked the style.)
