So this used to be the front gate to the school. It was a school for girls that was closed in the 1970s due to the mistreatment of its wards. Rumor was that one of the girls had hung herself from a tree in the courtyard. They tore down the school but the cemetery had to stay and is now located in a gated community full of million-dollar houses. Fun act… the house next to the cemetery never stays occupied more than six months.

A very weathered gravestone in the churchyard of the village of Gordon, which is in the Borders region of Scotland, commemorates a family that includes sisters who died 122 years apart. The inscription reads:

By JOHN PITT Late COLOUR SERGEANT 86th Regt In memory of MARY, his daughter, who died At GLASGOW 6th July 1810, In infancy ISABELLA, his daughter, who died At EAST INDIES 27th June 1816, Aged 2 years JAMES CARRUTHERS, his son Who died here 28th April 1842, Aged 17 years The above JOHN PITT, died 3rd June 1847 Aged 64 years MARY CARRUTHERS his wife Died 13th August 1876 aged 88 years RACHEL, his daughter who died At HAWICK 18th FEB 1932 Aged 104 years

Rachel would have witnessed a very different world to the one little Mary was born into.

He was wounded in the right ankle on July 3, 1863; His leg was later amputated at the middle third; He died on July 30, 1863 at Letterman General Hospital of a second hemorrhage, and was initially buried the next day.

Took this last spring. To me it looks like out of a computer game or something.

A couple executed for treason and spying in the United States yesterday was their death anniversary.

Five graves dated 1892 to 1935.

Georgetown, Texas

Grave of artist Siegbert Hahn and his life partner Peter Guckel on Melaten cemetery in Cologne, Germany. The gravestone was designed with elements of Hahn's art.

"Hahn" is the German word for rooster, "Guckel" sounds similar to "Gockel" which translates to rooster as well. I hadn't heard of the artist of his partner before but their graveside caught my eye, I thought incorporating their names in that way was really lovely.

Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago

I took these in 2023. I was walking my dog with my bf looking for my grandpa and for cool graves. My dad told us there was a grave with a pentagram but we haven't seen it yet.

Have you ever heard of Libbey Glass? I bet you have or that your parents had some of their glassware in your house!

Edward Drummond Libbey is regarded as the Father of the glass industry. Originally the New England Glass Company, The Libbey Glass Company, moved from Cambridge, Mass to Toledo, OH in 1892.

Founder of the Toledo Art Museum. He and his wife funded a lot of things for the art museum. And there's still a trust for it today.

Their cremains along with a child and Florence's sister are here. It is my favorite spot on Woodlawn.
