A Monumental Diarist Col Josiah Marshall Favill (1840-1913) Section F Lot 19097 Col Josiah Marshall Favill was a Union army lieutenant who served in the American Civil War and later published a graphic diary of his experiences. At the beginning of the Civil War in 1861, Favill was living in Jersey City, and while still a student he volunteered for ninety days as a private with Company C, 71st New York. While with the 71st, he took part in the chaos that was the battle of First Bull Run. After his ninety days service, Favill decided to exploit a rule that stated anyone who could recruit a hundred volunteers would be appointed an officer. Josiah found his volunteers, and with his ninety days of “on the job training” that deemed him a veteran at the age of twenty-one, he became a lieutenant and was assigned to the newly formed 57th New York. He was eventually appointed Adjutant to the 57th. Favill weighed a hundred and fifty pounds and stood five feet six inches tall. He was well educated to the standards of the day, as shown by his book, “Diary of a Young Officer”, a journal of his war experiences that detailed the horrors of the dying and the wounded at Bull Run. Favill’s book concludes just after the battle of Gettysburg and rumors suggest that another diary existed for the period following Gettysburg, but it has never surfaced. Favill was mustered out in August 1864, and later worked in the transportation business and produce exchange in Brooklyn. In his will, Favill left a sum of money to New York University, where he was once a matriculated student, to provide an annual prize for the best examination in Latin and Greek languages, to be known as the J.M. Favill prize. Exams for the prize are still administered in February of each year.

Msgr. St. John O’Sullivan*- (1874-1933) O’Sullivan was born in Louisville, Kentucky. He attended the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, where he determined to become a priest, and was accepted by his home Diocese of Louisville. He enrolled in Saint Bernard’s Seminary in Rochester, New York, to do his theological studies, graduating in 1904, when he was ordained by the Bishop of Louisville, William George McCloskey. He helped in various parishes in Texas and Arizona. In this way, he came to know the Rev. Alfred Quetu, the Catholic pastor of Prescott, Arizona, who suggested that O’Sullivan might find the abandoned Mission San Juan Capistrano in California might provide him a place for him to exercise his ministry in a manner compatible with his health. O’Sullivan was put in charge of the ruined Mission on July 5, 1910, making him the first priest to be resident at the mission since 1886. He set up a tent in the ruins of the mission, where he lived and began to minister to the local community. With a vision of how the Mission had looked in its heyday, he led restoration efforts at the Mission while he recovered from tuberculosis. O’Sullivan died in Orange, California, in 1933 and was buried in Calvary Cemetery in East Los Angeles. On November 7, 1934, his remains were re-interred in the cemetery of the old Mission, adjacent to the Serra Chapel which he had helped to rebuild, where they rest today. * * St. John O’Sullivan was his baptismal name. This does not infer that he was a canonized Saint. Many of Irish descent would use this form as a given name. However many Catholics felt this was improper to have the title St. or Saint in a given name and commonly would refer to him as “Sin-jin” instead of St. John.

A Monumental Hotel Man Hiram Cranston (1815-1877) Memorial ID 90626464 Hiram Cranston was a famous hotel keeper in New York City in the mid-19th century. Cranston led a colorful life, as his New York Times obituary dated September 27, 1877, shows: “DEATH OF HIRAM CRANSTON “AN EVENTFUL CAREER ENDED. “THE WELL-KNOWN KEEPER OF THE NEW-YORK HOTEL DIES SUDDENLY – HIS SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS VENTURES – AFFRAYS IN WHICH HE RECEIVED SERIOUS WOUNDS – HIS SOUTHERN SYMPATHIES “Mr. Hiram Cranston, the well-known keeper of the New-York Hotel, died suddenly yesterday morning at 9 o’clock. Mr. Cranston was, perhaps, as well known as any hotel keeper in the United States, having been engaged in the business for nearly fifty years. He has not been in good health for many years. Though naturally a man of good constitution, two serious assaults upon him during his life threatened to end it violently, and so impaired his general health that for the last few years he has contended for existence by the exercise of the utmost care in his movements… “In the Winter of 1846 he became, for a brief season, the manager of the Eutaw House, Baltimore, and raised it to the rank of a first-class establishment. His stay in Baltimore was marked by a painful occurrence. He has occasion one day to check a servant for some neglect of duty. Taking offense at his remarks the man attacked Mr. Cranston on the sidewalk with a knife, which he thrust into his breast through the right lung, wounding Mr. Cranston so seriously that for a long time it was believed he would die…” In 1858, Cranston again narrowly escaped death when he denied service to a Dr. Gaillardet in the New-York Hotel restaurant: “…the Doctor entered the dining room…seized a bottle of champagne, and dealt Mr. Cranston a blow on the top of his head, shattering the bottle, with the remnant of which he struck Mr. Cranston a second time, felling him, and leaving him stunned and bleeding.” Cranston survived this attack, too, but his health was never the same. Cranston was also an outspoken sympathizer of the South during the Civil War, making him the object of scorn from many Union men. His funeral took place at the New-York Hotel.
Some gorgeous stones from the Old Burying Ground in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Some Latin phrases I hadn’t seen before that share the same sentiment as “memento mori” — “vive memore lethe” (probably a misspelling of leti, which translates to “live remembering death”) and “memento te esse mortalem” (“remember you are mortal”). These are some of the oldest stones I’ve seen. I was looking for my 9th great-grandmother, Anna Harris Maverick (1613-1697). Her stone was here at one point, but the last image on FindAGrave is from 2015… it may not have survived another 9 years. Still well worth the trip. #mementomori #tapophile #cemeteriesofnewengland #colonialnewengland #oldburyingground #cemeterywandering

José Antonio Yorba (July 20, 1743 – January 16, 1825), also known as Don José Antonio Yorba I, was a Spanish soldier and early settler of Spanish California. In 1810, José Antonio Yorba was awarded by the Spanish Empire the 63,414-acre (256.63 km2) Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana land grant. Covering some 15 Spanish leagues, Yorba’s land comprised a significant portion of today’s Orange County including where the cities of Olive, Orange, Villa Park, Santa Ana, Tustin, Costa Mesa and Newport Beach stand today. Upon his death in 1825 he was buried at his request in an unmarked grave in the cemetery at Mission San Juan Capistrano. A cenotaph was later placed in Yorba’s honor. This stone is not the actual place where he was buried; that is largely unknown. Many of his children married into prominent landowning Southern California families, such as the Sepulvedas, Verdugos, Ortega and Alvarado families, whose names you might find familiar if you’re from the L.A. area.

A Monumental Merchant Joaquin Ximeno Harmony (1803-1858) Section 98 Lot 11214 Joaquin Ximeno Harmony was the nephew of a wealthy New York merchant, Peter Harmony, and worked for his uncle’s company named, appropriately enough, Peter Harmony and Nephews. Peter Harmony and Nephews was a Spanish firm based in New York City that often did business with companies in New Mexico, transporting goods over the Santa Fe Trail. The company was instrumental in arranging many large purchases for several decades. Once an order was ready, Harmony consigned it to a firm in Independence or St. Louis, often a company called Glasgow Brothers, that would oversee the final shipment to New Mexico. Massive purchases were the order of the day. For example, invoices from 1856 reveal that a buyer named Chavez bought 64,298 pounds of dry goods, among them were 220 sacks of clarified sugar, 71 barrels of whiskey, one barrel of brandy, two boxes of cognac, ten boxes of claret, ten baskets of champagne, two boxes of oysters, two boxes of sardines, eighteen pounds of almonds, ten sacks of coffee, seventy boxes of sperm candles, forty boxes of white soap, three thousand cigars, and other miscellaneous items. An 1859 invoice also listed 80,000 yards of indiana, manta, and lienzo, 1,092 pairs of boots, 540 pairs of shoes, and 585 pairs of pants. Another 1860 included 36 pages of items: 135 balas (bolts) with close to two hundred thousand yards of fabric, 346 boxes, forty-eight bundles or packages, seventy-four large trunks, and two barrels, valued at $36,237.77. Some orders were so large, it took a month for the entire load to be processed and shipped. While Joaquin Ximeno Harmony now lies at rest in Green-Wood Cemetery, his uncle Peter resides in the catacombs of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New York.
Recently, we went to Mission San Juan Capistrano to take in the beautiful grounds, and visit the small cemetery there. The Mission Cemetery served as a burial ground for local baptized Catholics. The first burial was recorded in 1781; it is believed over 3,000 burials took place between then and 1850. There are only three visible monuments in this cemetery as in the 18th century it was not the custom to be buried in coffins but rather mass graves. One is the internment of Msgr. John O’Sullivan who was the granted the exception in 1934 long after internments were ended. During his 23 year tenure, he directed the restoration of the mission. Another is the cross he had erected to the memory of the indigenous people who built the mission, and the third is a memorial to José Antonio Yorba, who helped establish the California missions. I’ll be going in to more detail about these in upcoming posts. After 1850, they began burials in a cemetery on land atop a hill, which is located just off of Ortega highway. This cemetery (rather confusingly named the “old mission cemetery”) is run by the Diocese of Orange and is private. You can only enter by going to the mission office and requesting a key.

Haworth Church: The majority of the Brontë family are buried beneath the church at Haworth and their is a chapel above that is dedicated to them. The whole family is commemorated in a plaque within the chapel. The inscription reads: “In Memory of Maria, wife of Reverend P Brontë A. B. Minister of Haworth; she died September 15th 1821, in the 39th year of her age. Also of Maria; their daughter; who died May 6th 1825, in the 12th year of her age. Also of Elizabeth; their daughter; who died June 15th 1825, in the 11th year of her age. Also of Patrick Branwell; their son; who died September 24th 1848, aged 31 years. Also of Emily Jane; their daughter; who died December 19th 1848 aged 30 years. Also of Anne; their daughter; who died May 28th 1849 aged 29 years. She was buried at the Old Church Scarborough. Also of Charlotte; their daughter; wife of the Reverend A. B. Nicholls B. A. She died March 31st 1859 in the 39th year of her age. Also of the aforementioned Rev P Brontë A. B. Who died June 7th 1861 in the 85th year of his age. Having been incumbent of Haworth for upwards of 41 years.

Haworth: One of the simplest inscriptions in the graveyard at the church is a large rectangular slab with “JS 1796” carved just into the top left corner. The information at the church indicates that this was likely the grave of a man called James Sutcliffe who was hung for theft on 2nd April 1796 for theft. #tapophile #grave #graves #graveyard #graveyards #church #churchyard #burialground #hangedman #georgianhistory #brontecountry #yorkshire #yorkshirehistory #unusualgraves #tyburntree
A weekend away in the north has supplied me with a plethora of pictures! Even though it was nominally a trip to visit the steam railway, it wouldn’t be a proper trip to Haworth without paying homage at the Parsonage. The church next to the Brontë Parsonage as an amazing graveyard; the stones are crammed in up the hill. There seem to be a disproportionate number of deaths of young people in the mid-19th century that I took some examples of. We also venture into the church to visit the Brontë chapel above the family crypt. We were lucky enough to chat with the church’s organist while we looked around. Image descriptions: 1. A crowded graveyard in the foreground with the Brontë parsonage visible through the trees. 2. Another view of a crowded graveyard. 3. A small chapel. 4.

A Monumental Folk Man Richard Alan Altman (1949-2009) Section 122 Lot 44807 Richard Altman was at one time the owner and operator of the venerable folk music store, Folklore Center, in Greenwich Village, New York. Altman was born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island, New York. At an early age, he was drawn to Greenwich Village, as many were in the Sixties and Seventies. In 1973, Altman took over the Folklore Center after its founder, Israel “Izzy” Young, decided to return to his homeland Sweden. According to an online blog, “For 10 bucks, [Altman] got the store and the inventory and all the debts, which he tried to pay off.” The Folklore Center and Fretted Instruments Shop had been founded by Young in 1957. It was a place where people could buy instruments, books, records, and other folk related materials. It was also a gathering place for the growing New York City folk music and poetry scenes, such as Bob Dylan, Peter Yarrow, Dave Van Ronk, Ted Berrigan, and many others. Dylan spent a lot of his time sitting in the back of the store listening to the records that came through the shop. He wrote a tribute song to the place, “Talkin Folklore Center”, and cited the time he spent there as a major influence in the development of his folk roots. Altman was also an excellent carpenter, a skilled guitar repairman, and a devoted father. For many years, he and a partner tried in vain to keep the Folklore Center open but rising Greenwich Village rents eventually saw its demise. Altman later took a civil service position with the NYCTA (now MTA), embracing his lifelong love of trains. His unique monument features a lyric from Dylan’s song, “Turn Turn Turn”, as well as an acoustic guitar and a New York City subway train.

A Monumental Notebook Man George L. Pease (1835-1895) Section 138 Lot 27762 George L. Pease was a partner in Boorum & Pease, notebook manufacturers, located in the Dumbo and Vinegar Hill sections of Brooklyn. From his obituary in the New York Times, February 26, 1895: “George L. Pease, formerly Vice President of the Shoe and Leather National Bank, died yesterday morning at his home, 325 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn. He was stricken with apoplexy at 11 o’clock Sunday morning. Mr. Pease had been ill all winter, and for two weeks had been confined to his bed. His illness is attributed to worry over the $354,000 defalcation [fraud] of Samuel C. Seely and Frederick Baker. When the defalcation was discovered, Mr. Pease did all in his power for the bank and its depositors, and overexerting himself, affected his health. He was re-elected Vice President at the annual meeting on Jan. 8, but resigned his position on Feb. 15, and at once took to his bed, where he remained until his death. “Mr. Pease owned a large interest in the Boorum & Pease Company, which manufactures blank books, and left a large estate. He was born in Painesville, Ohio, in June 1835. With his father he moved to Detroit, Mich., when he was nine years old, and there and at Lodi, Mich., he obtained his education. He afterward taught school and engaged in civil engineering. He was admitted to his father’s business, and later bought out his father’s interest in the Detroit Paper Company, He came to New York in November 1868, and associated himself with William B. Boorum, under the firm name of Boorum & Pease, and did a blankbook and stationery business. The company became a stock corporation in 1890, with Mr. Pease as its President…” Boorum & Pease kept facilities in Brooklyn from 1888 to 1984, including their first factory at the corner of Front and Bridge streets (184 Front Street), and a building two blocks further east on Front Street at 84 Hudson Avenue. The building on Hudson Avenue still exists today, boasting the company’s name on its façade. Around 1980, the company relocated to Elizabeth, New Jersey, and in 1985 was acquired by Esselte, a Swedish office product company that operates globally.
My first introduction to a classification of memorial stone known as ‘Adam and Eve Stones’ was on a rainy walk through the village of Colmonell in South Ayrshire. The roofed entryway of the church beckoned, a lone bench offering shelter from the downpour. • I’m not a religious person, but have long appreciated the quiet solace and shelter offered by churchyards along my wanders. I’ve sat in many a cemetery for my meal breaks, to rest my weary feet, and of course to explore the tributes to the dead. • As I huddled in the entryway, I found some interesting information about the stones in little cemetery including the ‘Fall Stone’ or ‘Adam and Eve Stone’, which dates to about 1758. This type of stone was apparently common in centuries past, but few remain in good condition today. The stone depicts: • • The Resurrection across the top, with a skeleton flanked by two trumpeting angels. • • Adam, Eve and the Serpent across the center. • • A depiction of farming with 2 ploughman and oxen across the bottom (which is sadly sinking into the earth.) • #findherinthehighlands #scotland #tapophile #cemetery #gravestone #scottishhistory #ayrshire #scotlandisnow

A Monumental Prodigy Annie Blanche Calvert Bennett (1873-1893) Section 98 Lot 17420 Annie Bennett was a gifted young Brooklyn woman who unfortunately passed before she could reach her full potential. From her obituary in the New York Times, September 22, 1893: “DEATH OF A BRIGHT YOUNG WOMAN “Miss Annie Blanche Calvert Bennet Gave Promise of a Brilliant Career. “The funeral of Miss Annie Blanche Calvert Bennet, oldest daughter of Sidney A. Bennett, who died Tuesday, will be held at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon from the residence of her relative, Henry M. Calvert, 138 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, which she made her home. “Miss Bennett was a remarkable young woman in many ways, and many friends mourn her early death. She was but twenty years old. She had a rare talent for art and music, and in the few years she had devoted to those studies had displayed an ability which gave promise of future distinction. “Particularly good was her memory, and many times she gave evidence of its quickness and retentiveness. She was an omnivorous reader, and her chief delight was to entertain, as she did in a charming way, young children with pretty tales selected from her reading. “For art Miss Bennett had a passion, and when sickness prevented active study, she painted as she lay on a lounge in her room, the canvas suspended from a swivel in the ceiling. “Miss Bennett was born in Brooklyn Feb. 11, 1873. Her father, who is a business man of means, is now abroad.” Miss Bennett’s monument features her likeness, possibly sculpted from a post-mortem mask which was a common practice at the time, as well as a musical instrument and artist’s utensils.

🦠Rabies Death 🦠 A Grave in the Middle of the Road!! (Story by Traveling Arkansas and information provided by Find A Grave website) This is the grave of Curtis Underwood. He died of Rabies in 1898, at the age of 19. When the road was being built, the family refused to allow the grave to be moved. So, they crafted a median so the grave would not be disturbed. As an historical aside, despite the fact famed scientist, Louis Pasteur, had discovered a treatment for those who contracted rabies in 1885, the knowledge of the treatment spread slowly among the medical community. I have heard stories of country folks, during the 1800s and early 1900s, isolating family members who contracted rabies out of fear it could spread to other members of the family. As the infected person became more and more grotesque in their actions as the virus progressed, there are stories of rabies victims being tied down in their bed, or even tied to trees until they died. While that sounds horrible by our standards, not knowing if rabies was contaigious, folks from that era were only trying to protect the rest of the family. 🖤This grave is now in the middle of Cortez Road just outside the entrance of the Golf Course. When Cortez road was built, it was built so that you traveled on either side of the grave. It is the only grave at this site. . . . . . #headstone #spooky #tapophile #graveyard #gravesite #death #cemeteries #cemetaryphoto #cemetaryphotography #oldcemetery #cemeterybeauty #spooky #gravestone #tombstones #grave #creepy #cemeteriesofinstagram #graveyard #graveyardphotography #gravestones #cemeterylovers #ghost #curtisunderwood #rabies

„I saw a chapel all of gold That none did dare to enter in, And many weeping stood without, Weeping, mourning, worshipping. I saw a serpent rise between The white pillars of the door, And he forc’d and forc’d and forc’d, Down the golden hinges tore.” #victoriana #antiquecards #antiquephoto #antiquephotography #darkacademia #darkacademiaaesthetic #darkacademiavibes #ghoststory #teawithghost #darkaesthetic #oddity #odditiesandcuriosities #oddities #curio #taphophile #tapophile #oldgraves #oldcemetery #graveyardbeauty #graveyardphotography #graveyard_freaks #graveyard_shots #graveyard_fanatics #taphophiletourism

Awhile back we visited the Toledo Hospital Cemetery which holds the remains of nearly 2000 patients of what was once the Toledo Insane Asylum. The toledo State hospital reclamation project has done an amazing job unearthing the markers and identifying 90% of the unmarked graves. I hope to see more of this good kind of work throughout the country. Give a name back to those who were so cruelly discarded and forgotten. - Eerie Eryn #cemeterywandering #tapophile #toledoohio #toledostatehospitalcemetery #paranormal #division3am #cemetery

Edward and Lorraine Warren were well-known paranormal investigators and authors associated with prominent cases of alleged hauntings. Edward was a self-taught demonologist, author, and lecturer. Lorraine a clairvoyant and a light trance medium. They helped many individuals overcome the unthinkable. Their home is only about a 3 minute drive up the road, I'll show you that in my next video. Their presence is still heavily active around this grave. I had a lot of interesting things happen while I was sitting there as well as overwhelming emotion which doesn't usually happen to me at cemeteries! #cemeterywandering #edwardwarren #lorrainewarren #thewarrens #thewarrensgrave #cemeteries #darktraveler #graveyard #gravestones #graveyardwanderer #cemeterytok #tapophile #fyp #spooky365 #realmseekers
A Monumental Writer James Kirke Paulding (1778-1860) Section 49 Lot 766 James Kirke Paulding was an American writer and politician. Born in Dutchess County, New York, Paulding briefly attended a village school but was largely self-educated. Moving to New York City in 1800, Paulding became a close friend of Washington Irving. With Irving, Paulding proposed a literary project: “one day in a frolicsome mood, we broached the idea of a little periodical merely for our own amusement, and that of the town, for neither of us anticipated any further circulation.” The result was Salmagundi, a short-lived satirical periodical, in which the word ‘Gotham’ was first ascribed as a name for New York City. In 1814, Paulding published a political pamphlet, ‘The United States and England’, which attracted the notice of President Madison. In 1815, he appointed Paulding Secretary to the Board of Navy Commissioners. Subsequently, Paulding was Navy Agent in New York City, and from 1837 Secretary of the Navy under President Van Buren. As Secretary, Paulding was conservative, his wide knowledge of naval affairs balanced by a lack of enthusiasm for new technology. He opposed the introduction of steam-propelled warships, declaring that he would ‘never consent to let our old ships perish, and transform our Navy into a fleet of (steam) sea monsters.’ Nevertheless, his tenure saw advances in steam engineering, exploration efforts, enlargement of the fleet and an expansion of the Navy’s apprenticeship program. In 1841, Paulding left office with the change of administrations, returning to literary pursuits and taking up agriculture. He lived near Hyde Park, in Dutchess County. Although much of his literary work consisted of political journalism, he also wrote essays, poems and tales. From his father, an active revolutionary patriot, Paulding inherited strong anti-British sentiments. As a poet, he was gracefully commonplace, yet the only lines which survive in popular memory are the familiar, ‘Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Where is the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?’, from ‘Koningsmarke’. In 1920, the USS James K. Paulding was named in his honor.
This is such a beautiful and unique stone! I'm unsure the symbolism behind the shapes but if anyone knows please comment below. #cemeterywandering #cemeteriesofinstagram #cemetery #graveyardgal #graveyard #gravestones #hallowedground #tapophile #Cemetery #cemeteryphotography

Culross West Kirk in Fife, Scotland 🏴 West Kirk was the parish Church of Culross until 1633. Before that date, villagers would have attended Roman Catholic sermons here. In more recent years, it featured as the filming location of the Black Kirk in Outlander. 🏴

A Monumental Artist James McDougal Hart (1828-1901) Section 90 Lot 3037 James McDougal Hart was a Scottish-born American landscape and cattle painter of the Hudson River School. Hart was born in Kilmarnock, Scotland, and taken to America with his family in early youth. His older brother, William Hart, was also a Hudson River School artist, as were his younger sister Julie Hart Beers and his two daughters. In Albany, New York, Hart trained with a sign and carriage maker. James later returned to Europe for serious artistic training, studying in Munich and as a pupil of Friedrich Wilhelm Schirmer at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. In 1853, Hart returned to America. He exhibited his first work at the National Academy of Design in 1848 and became an associate in 1857 and a full member in 1859. He was particularly devoted to the National Academy, exhibiting there for more than 40 years and serving as vice president late in his life from 1895 to 1899. Like his brother William, James also exhibited at the Brooklyn Art Association and major exhibitions around the country. Along with most major landscape artists of the time, Hart based his operations in New York City and adopted the style of the Hudson River School. While he and his brother William often painted similar landscape subjects, James could be more inclined to paint larger works. An example is The Old Homestead (1862), 42 x 68 inches, in the collection of the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia. Like his brother William, James excelled at painting cattle. Kevin J. Avery wrote, “the bovine subjects that once distinguished [his works] now seem the embodiment of Hart’s artistic complacency.” In contrast, his major landscape paintings are considered important works of the Hudson River School. A particularly fine example is Summer in the Catskills, now in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Spain. Hart’s works are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the New York State Historical Assocation, the Corcoran Gallery, and Vassar College. Fittingly, Hart’s monument features a cow and the words, “He taketh me to lie down in green pastures”.
