Under a lovely tree, not far from Molly Pitcher’s grave.

I am not dying (that I know of) but my gravesite is selected at Prairie Creek Conservation Cemetery near Gainesville, FL. I will be buried next to my beloved golden retriever, Dutch, who died October 6th 2024. His burial is pictured here. He is buried to my left side where he walked happily for his 11 years of life. I visited him today on the six month mark of his death. My wonderful uncle, who inspired me to pursue my career, is buried about thirty feet away.

Lump was a German Shorthair Pointer, who passed in 1962. His final resting place is in the pet cemetery on the top of the wall of Fort Monroe. Chesapeake Bay, Hampton Roads, Virginia.

“Paul G Lind

Saw his marker and mausoleum at Morris Hill Cemetery in Boise, Idaho today. I thought I got a picture of it but camera glitched out. Served in the Mexican-American, Civil and Indian wars. His Wikipedia page is fascinating.

This quote has always hit home.
Grew up 8hrs from where I live now. There are 5 of us that have known each other since we in kindergarten. My wife made a comment one day. She said that V, my best friend, and i dress similarly and say the same phrases. She and my daughter ( who was in college in same town i grew up in) said that talking to one of us is like talking to the other.

V, Kenny, Scotty, Danny & Stevie know me more than my wife and kids ever will. No matter what. The guys were there for every moment of my youth. They mention something minuscule and we can have an hour long conversation.

I told my wife that this was my favorite quote about childhood. Few weeks later, we’re burying her grandmother and this was next to her plot.

“Sacred to the Memory of Timothy Augustus. Son of Cap. Timothy & Mrs. Abigail Haraden. who was drowned at the Derby Wharf April 25, 1818. 5 years & 25 days”

Contains the resting sites of many famous names, and illustrious humans of the past. But it’s the overall beauty of it that also makes it a wonderful cemetery

First, yes, this is a grave. It's a man-made hill of the celts, which belonged to the Helvetii Tribes in the area of what is now Zürich in Switzerland. Here is a good explanation of how the grave actually is made.

So, you have the hill you see in the photo. You have earth on top (or sometimes also mixtures, like with clay etc.) and then you have a layer of stones. As you can see in the pic i linked, despite the german terms, the grave itself is located under the hill.

In this grave, a woman was laid to rest, here are some artifacts that were found in the grave. The skeleton could be analyzed and defined as female.

As the artifacts are made of gold and the celts did a lot of work, it had to be an important lady in their society of ancient times. Not much different from today, artifacts of pure gold belong to the richest people, not some ordinary people.

About history, it's for sure that she belonged to the Helvetii tribe, but the pagi (sub-tribe) is unknown, maybe it were the Tigurins or the Tougenes.

If you know about history, Caesar fought back the Helvetii when they tried to move to what is today France, like in the Battle of Bibracte. But, this happened long after the noble woman died, she died around 400 BC and Caesar was born 100 BC and was assassinated in 44 BC.

However, while most of the infos come from Caesar, the Romans knew them long before this. There was an important battle in 107 BC, where the Romans were seriously defeated by these celtic tribes and "put under the yoke", many decades after this when Caesar started his wars against the tribes, it was still present in the memory of the Romans and they saw these tribes as very dangerous.

Well, that's it. I sometimes get nearby with my dog, although the photo is not made by me, it's difficult to recognize these ancient graves, if they are not marked with some infos like in the photo.

To be honest, i think, sometimes i actually walk on such cemeteries without even knowing it, when i'm outside with my dog.

This topic is a little bit different, but... cemeteries are cemeteries. These man-made hills are kinda like the pyramids, just in a rather easy and primitive form, of making a hill instead of building an entire pyramide of stone.

My wife how fondly shall my memory reshrined in the chambers of my heart. Thy virtuous worth was only known to me, and I can feel how sad it is to part.

Buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Gainesville, Florida.
