Cemeteries I Have Visited. Adventures in Cemetery Hopping. Separating the Sheep From the Goats: Something to Chew on at Decatur Cemetery. Asymp; 4 Comments. First, I’d like to apologize for being absent from the blog for over a month. Due to a move into a new home across town, I had to put my cemetery hopping and blog writing activities on hold for a while. I’m still unpacking boxes but for the most part, we’re settled in. But it wasn’t until recently that I actually saw sheep on the premises. Before you...

Who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 8212; Matthew 11:28. They say death is the great equalizer. But in the cemetery, that hasn’t been the case in centuries past. Well, their final home was often a nameless patch of earth. BNC was created as a result of a desire to break down the barriers of class and religion. In 1877, a Cat...

Asymp; 1 Comment. 8220;People were struggling in the water, clustered so thickly that they literally covered the surface of the river.

Today I’m going to share about another family cemetery that also ended up surrounded by commercial development. But this one has a somewhat happier ending. Stephen Martin Cemetery is no...

Cemeteries I Have Visited. Adventures in Cemetery Hopping. The Laughter of Children: Dunwoody’s New Hope Cemetery. Asymp; 6 Comments. The juxtaposition of a cemetery with a daycare center may seem a bit strange. But it’s actually not so strange when you realize that just as life is beginning for some, it’s already ended for others. You can see the daycare center behind the sign. The gates of New Hope Cemetery are locked but there’s a side gate to the right for guests to enter. Unfortunately, the work cre...

Cemeteries I Have Visited. Adventures in Cemetery Hopping. Gateway to the West: Visiting St. Joseph, Missouri’s Mount Mora Cemetery, Part IV. Asymp; 5 Comments.
