William Bell was Bannack, Montana’s first citizen to die of illness on November 12, 1862. The Dillon Examiner reported “ In a rude cabin of Alder Gulch, at this early time, a good man and true, our brother, William H. Bell, lay dying of mountain fever. When he felt that death was nigh he expressed to his brother Masons who attended him a desire to be buried with some, at least, of the funeral rites of our fraternity. There was no lodge of Masons; there was no monitor or book of Masonry in the camp, nor was it known how many of the order could be mustered, for they never as yet had met together. A request for all Masons in the gulch to meet at Miller’s cabin, on Yankee flat, was responded to by a hundred or more. All were delighted that the number of Masons was so great, and it was then and there resolved to form a lodge in which good men and true might assemble and meet on the square without the odious presence of the ruffian element…. Bell is buried in the old cemetery on the hill overlooking Bannack.

I said that I would return to this cemetery when the snow had melted. Ironically on this day I explored most of the cemetery before sleet and flurries chased me back into my car. It did make for some great photos though with the contrast of fall colours and stormy skies.
This particular batch of photos may include repeats, taken by my Samsung S20 FE phone. It takes great pictures though I am disappointed by the frequent presence of a blue orb-like lens flare in many direct-at-sun photos. I've tried to remove them from this batch.

The section of the cemetery that has reverted to a forest
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.

Kensal Green Cemetery is one of London’s magnificent seven, and one of the greater discoveries I’ve made when ticking them off. I didn’t know a huge amount before heading up, but once up there I found a huge area, densely packed with headstones and monuments, and one of the greatest collections of old statues I’ve seen in any cemetery. Definitely one to prioritize if your looking to explore London’s historic cemeteries.
