Whitegate Cemetery, Moundsville, WV

This cemetery is the place of rest for prisoners who died at the nearby West Virginia Penitentiary and who were not claimed by anyone after their passing.
This was as close as I could get as a good size creek runs in front of it. The concrete bridge that was used to access the cemetery has collapsed. If you are adventurous you can cross the creek. Unfortunatley for me that day we had heavy rains the night before and the creek was super high. Usually this would not bother me at all but I just did not have the shoes with me to be able to do it!!
Historic West Virginia Penitentiary in Moundsville, WV made license plates from 1939 until its closing in 1995.
Fittingly, the headstones here at Whitegate are all metal plates with what simple information they had, their name, birth date and death date.

46 years ago today....
Chicago Flight 191 Crash site, East side of the Des Plaines Mobile Home Park, West Touhy, Des Plaines, Il
Sightings include apparitions, some reported to be still smoldering from the fiery crash. Ghostly noises, including knocking on resident’s doors, have been experienced in and around the mobile home park.
May 25, 1979. Flight 191 leaves Chicago Ohare airport headed for Los Angeles. The flight never makes it out of Chicago as it crashed in a fiery ball of jet fuel flames next to a mobile home park shortly after takeoff. One of the greatest air disasters in the United States, all 270 people aboard perished.
Soon after, reports started popping up of lights spotted in the field where the plane had crashed. The most common experience is residents in the mobile home hear knocking on their door only to find no one there when its opened. Variations of this occurrence include hearing footsteps up metal steps to the door before hearing a knock and or actually opening the door to a figure stating “I need to find my luggage” then disappearing. The dogs at the nearby K9 training facility are said to bark in the direction of the crash site for no visible reason.
For 32 years no memorial existed for the crash. In 2011 a memorial was erected with the names of those who perished in the flight. A 2009-10 sixth grade class raised money to erect the memorial after learning that their assistant principals lost both her parents in the tragedy. The memorial does not sit near the crash location but roughly 2 miles down the road at Des Plaines Lake Park.

Throwback to the 2015?? Illinois chapter AGS meeting at Forest Park Library then Forest Home Cemetery!
I was just telling a friend about the meeting and what a trip it was! During a very serious speech given by a head of a restoration company, two hooligans in the audience were talking and goofing like kids in church!! Neither of those two are with us anymore.
John Martine and Mark Rogovin. 👼
The very serious gentlemen actually scolded them for talking 🤣 SOOO funny! I hope the two of them are up there causing trouble as usual!!!
The end of that day was pretty funny too. A large group of us stayed a little to long and they locked us in the cemetery! It really wasn't a big deal as Mark was right down the street with the key and came to our rescue quickly. Before anyone gets their knickers in a knot LOL The cemetery knew we were there and had access to Mark so they had told us we could stay pretty much as long as we liked!
It was great day, great memories with great friends ❤️

I took this in the summer of 2016 of a local young woman posing on the infamous Madonna stone in Bachelors Grove Cemetery, Midlothian, IL.
I am still looking for photos of visitors posed on or around the Madonna stone. These photos will be a part of a display in the Bachelors Grove Cemetery traveling exhibit appearing at paracons this year with me.
IF YOU HAVE ONE TO SHARE! please post here or email to xroex@juno.com
I still have a couple of weeks to collect them so if you haven't done this and still want to, you have time to actually go there and take the photo!!!

Lakeview Cemetery, Cleveland, Oh
John Davis Rockefeller Sr. was an American Businessman and Philanthropist. He is one of the wealthiest men in modern history having been the firs to reach billionaire status. By the time he was twenty years old he was involved in Oil Refining and opened The Standard Oil Company in 1847 in Cleveland, Ohio.
As gas and kerosene usage grew so did Rockefellers wealth. By 1900 he owned 90% of Americas Oil making him the richest man in the country.
In 1911 the supreme court ruled that Standard Oil needed to be dismantled due to violations of federal antitrust laws. The company was split into 34 separate entities. Two of these companies became ExxonMobil and Chevron Corporation, each remains among the largest companies by revenue worldwide.
By 1913 he was reportedly worth 900 million dollars.
Rockefeller spent the last 40 years of his life in retirement in New York defining the structure of modern philanthropy with other industrialists.
His fortune was used on the "systematic approach of targeted philanthropy through the creation of foundations that supported medicine, education, and scientific research" (quote from Wikipedia)
He died at age 97 on May 27, 1937, in his home in Florida. He is buried along with many members of his family in Lakeview Cemetery, Cleveland, Ohio.

John Davis Rockefeller Sr. was an American Businessman and Philanthropist. He is one of the wealthiest men in modern history having been the firs to reach billionaire status. By the time he was twenty years old he was involved in Oil Refining and opened The Standard Oil Company in 1847 in Cleveland, Ohio.
As gas and kerosene usage grew so did Rockefellers wealth. By 1900 he owned 90% of Americas Oil making him the richest man in the country.
In 1911 the supreme court ruled that Standard Oil needed to be dismantled due to violations of federal antitrust laws. The company was split into 34 separate entities. Two of these companies became ExxonMobil and Chevron Corporation, each remains among the largest companies by revenue worldwide.
By 1913 he was reportedly worth 900 million dollars.

In honor of my good friend John Martine. The most knowledgeable cemetery person and one of the greatest human beings I know (also one of the funniest 🤣). I thought I lost this video but found it recently. He will truly be missed but happy that he is in a Bohemian Niche where we can all visit. Dude I am so sorry I did not get to see you before you left us. Rest in peace buddy . You'll be with us always ❤️🪦

The public vault at Congressional Cemetery, Washington DC

This Vault was built between 1832 and 1834. A total of $2800 was appropriated by the United States Congress during this time to build the structure to store bodies of government officials and members of the public before burial.
This was due to a need for a space for those who died in DC while working. During that time we did not have embalming and other modern funerary customs and procedures. Many of the men in Congress and government worked here in DC but did not live here. They came from all over the country. Transportation of a body was expensive and took a long time in those days as well. So they needed a place to store the bodies until arrangements could be made.
Approximately 4600 individuals have been temporarily interred in the vault, including three US presidents, John Quincy Adams, William Henry Harrison, and Zachary Taylor..
First lady Dolly Madison was the longest interment having been there from July 16th, 1849 to February 10th, 1852.
Use of the temporary space was free to public officials and charged $5 to the general public the temporary storage of the body. Part of these fees went towards the upkeep of the cemetery and the church associated with it.
Legend says that Lewis Powell spent the night in the vault while avoiding capture for his involvement in the Lincoln assassination.
In June of 1969 The vault was listed on the national register of historic places and made a national historic landmark in 2011.
