The Old Smithville Burying Ground Analysis

Unlike a grave site memorial, which marks where a body is burried, roadside memorials shows where a person died abruptly and unpredictably. When we see one, we get curious automatically and ask what might have happened in that place. Perhaps the basic reaction that we give when we see a roadside memorial is enough to understand its purpose and tolerate its presence when we are on the road. However, Some of the usual arguments that people post in opposing the presence of these memorials are dangerous distractions for drivers, illegal displays of religious symbols and it constitute the taking of public property for private purposes (Tiernan, 2009). I would like to argue all these arguments as I believe that the relevance of memorials outweighs all these concerns.

There is a small white church located on a U.S. highway near the intersection of two Interstate highways in northern New Jersey. There, a Scottish flag flies over an easily missed gravestone in a small churchyard. This stone was erected by an American Founding Father over the burial plot of an officer in the British Army during the Revolution.

There are beauties unknown deep in the ground of Concordia. Stories that have been altered over the course of time and history that has tailgated behind these tombstones of deceased bodies. Gunfighters who thought they would rule the world were slain by the scythe of death. They were once owners of land, beholders of beauty, famous gun ringers, loving family members, and burdened veterans of war. Concordia Cemetery, the land that once gave birth to crops now lays burdened with the segregation of death, where even then people were all divided by their race, credentials, ethnicity and even gender. Gunfighters were caged underneath their tombstones where people were sure that they wouldn’t rise again.

Slessor is without doubt one of Australia’s great poets as his poetry invites us to feel and think about human experience in new ways. He shapes meaning in his poems through the use of sophisticated and appropriate language. Within the poem “Beach Burial” Slessor provides various insights on how the human condition is questioned and allows the reader to experience personal encounters with death, loss and grief that he laments throughout this poem, thereby underlining the futility of war. He also demonstrates the everyday struggles during the Great Depression in Kings Cross within the poem “William Street” during the financial state in the 1930s.

First, indians were disrespected. Their burial grounds were disturbed and often built over(indian burial grounds). The citizens showed little respect to the dead. This only rose when the grave creek mound was found and they charged others to look at the bones(indian burial grounds). The researchers did not consider the culture of the native americans or that the remains were once people. They uncermouly dubbed these remains the king tut of the west Before the us passed a bill that after study the bones must be reburied again. (Indian burial ground). The bill was only passed in 1990 and it shows the lack of though the Government had for the indians. More recently in 1998, they removed 154 indian remains only to build a walmart. They were not only getting their burial grounds disrupted, but their culture was also getting disrespected. They had their children forcibly removed from them and put into a

The Britannia Mines has played such a major role in the building blocks of British Columbia’s economic development and early history. Behind the unforgotten community that once flourished with 60,000 miners of different races and religions, lies a rich history that captures the hearts of many who pass by one of the most successful copper sites of its time. With that being said, the legend behind the discovery of affluent minerals in Britannia Mines is by a doctor who was searching for gold in the year, 1888. After many failed attempts to set up a mining industry, the Britannia Mine and Smelting Company Ltd. took interest in this discovery and developed operation systems and communities. The Britannia Mines in the 1920s became such a successful

As some of you may be aware, Woodlawn National Cemetery is the final resting place for our fallen soldiers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our great Country. It is the duty of the workers of the cemetery and even us to make sure that their sacrifice for Freedom is not forgotten. This beautiful and sacred ground is also a final resting place for another group of soldiers.

This cemetery specifically is a Catholic cemetery, which makes it different from others. The people who own it, as well as the people who use their services, believe in certain notions

Muddy Creek Cemetery perfectly matches the small-town aesthetic prevalent throughout Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania. Secluded by woods and off a minuscule dirt road, it is extremely easy to miss the final resting place of the town’s current and former inhabitants. Split into two parts, the lower half is further divided into a modern section that is still in use and a much older segment consisting of graves from various decades, many dating back to the 1800s. Up a trail that is slowly being invaded with poison ivy, the upper half of the cemetery can be found. Originally donated for the burial of civil war soldiers, the clearing once held a church that burned down long ago and many internments that have been vandalized and are mostly unmarked. Apart

We elected to run a short car route around the perimeter of the cemetery to get a grasp of the layout and a probable foot path that we would follow. Parking along the southern most point in the cemetery we scanned a small lake, or “big pond” for signs of life (sorry bad choice of words). No waterfowl were present and the surrounding open area was muted.

The cemetery I chose to visit and explore was the Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. On the way to the cemetery I couldn’t help but feel anxious. When I began to drive past the cemetery to its entrance, all I could see were miles and miles of headstones. It was eerie to say the least. As a kid, whenever my family would drive by a cemetery, my siblings and I would hold our breath until we passed so as to not breathe in the wandering, lost souls. Actually going into a cemetery to look around seemed counterintuitive, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to hold my breath for that long. It didn’t help that right when I entered those black gates that separated the living from the dead, clouds of smoke and ash permeated the air around me due to bodies being cremated on site.

But what happens when these places of spiritual and religious importance are labeled as haunted and become areas of high tourist interest? Savannah, Georgia is known as one of the most haunted cities of the United States (Gentry, 2007). Along with the obvious, noticeable graveyards spread throughout Savannah, there are also “lost” graveyards that are marked using plaques (Gentry, 2007). In earlier times, the “dead were buried just beyond the city limits, areas paved over as the city expanded,” which means that it is impossible to walk through Savannah without walking on graves (Gentry, 2007, p. 223). Because of this, this previous capitol of Georgia has become known for their haunted
