Protestant Cemetery

Stories from the Grave Cemeteries bring to life memories of the dead. Visiting the Syracuse cemetery was eye-opening for me. The only times I have walked in cemeteries, have been for the burials of both my cousin and grandfather, and when I visited the American cemetery in Normandy, France. For some inexplicable reason, I have always been wary of graveyards, memorials, and cemeteries. This project thrust me into a world that I have never cared to observe. I didn’t learn as much about death on my…

Other archival records refer to the cemetery as being on the farm, but small-town politics and the strong resistance of the landowner have thwarted Mr. Avery’s and others efforts. So what happened to this original African American Community? No one is certain how many slaves laboured for Colonel…

stones dating back to the eighteen-twenties in the distant plot of the left-hand side of the yard. The story behind the site is well unknown. Italians or other mobsters would deposit bodies of their victims in the lake on the far left side of the cemetery back in the twenties. Soldiers from the Spanish War to the first two World Wars entombed in the graveyard have flags by their gravestones. Ghost stories of a tiny girl roaming the yard known throughout the web with videos and…

may have been a mix of the emotions and sadness from the reason I first visited, but I was genuinely amazed. Allegheny Cemetery had me gasping at the intricate, unique beauty of each stone and massive size of the land. I don’t mean to be morbid, but Allegheny Cemetery is my place of choice for this essay. The cemetery was incorporated in 1844 and is the sixth oldest rural cemetery in America. It encompasses 300 acres of luscious Allegheny County land. This hilly landscape is the essence of…

Gothic Setting The night falls early due to the start of the cold season. He walks through the haunted, dark forest, feeling the branches hit against him and spiders crawl up his face as he ruins their cobwebs. The air smells like toxic gas and he can taste the unpleasant sand as he opens his mouth as wide as he can to yawn. He stands at a safe distance from an abandoned, ominous castle that looks like a huge, cursed mansion. This castle holds the secret of what he is looking for. The…

Upon visiting Grove Cemetery, the first cemetery I have actually taken the time to stop and wander through, I was struck by how the arrangements of the dead make an intense effort to resemble those of the living. The cemetery incorporates the pavement of a central road that diverts off into separate streets, each with their own typical middle-American name. Walking down one of these ‘neighborhoods’ you notice the fenced gates of family burial plots, with an obelisk containing all the names and…

In the burial site at Marosszentanna, the bodies were laid out in perpendicular directions, approximately along a north-south axis, except for twelve graves that were aligned east-west. These graves contained no grave goods nor eating or drinking vessels. The hands of at least two of the corpses were also clasped in a Christian manner and have been dated as the most recent graves (Köpeczi et al.). This indicates the transition from non-Christian to Christian and the acceptance of such a…

showed a lack of thought and sympathy towards these children. However, what was most astounding was that from all the written records they found, there was never a mention of a cemetery. Essentially, life moved on and everything unmarked was just left there with no one to hold these people accountable. The unmarked cemetery found on Pinkie Road was unknown to many aboriginal people. In a sense it provided solace to the parents who never saw their children return home and were given no…

In Sophocles Antigone, the reader is forced to ask her/himself a few different questions that would help to answer some of the problems in the story.

These questions would help the reader determine who was right…
