MANSFIELD, Texas - A fence divides two cemeteries, one founded for white people, the other for blacks. The fence has been there as long as anyone locally can remember. It stayed up, and presumably was replaced a few times, after the U.S. military was integrated in 1948, after the Supreme Court ruled that "separate but equal" was unconstitutional in 1954 and after the Mansfield schools were forcibly integrated in 1965.

For more than 40 years, the Maine Old Cemetery Association and its members have been recording cemetery inscriptions around the state. Ive often used the four-volume Maine Cemetery Inscriptions: York County at Bangor Public Library, or the six-volume Maine Cemetery Inscriptions: Kennebec County at Maine State Library or the University of Maine Special Collections in Orono. Those libraries also have some MOCA cemeteries on microfilm in various departments.
[...] many also come from municipal cemeteries and cemeteries run by religious organizations, Slocum said, Cemetery regulation came to the attention of federal lawmakers last year after law enforcement officers learned that more than 200 bodies at the Burr Oak Cemetery in Illinois had been exhumed so the cemetery workers could resell the lots.
Even if you don't believe in ghosts, walking through a graveyard can be a little spooky - especially in autumn as the trees lose their leaves, flowers wither away and light fades in the late afternoon. But cemeteries can make fascinating destinations. Sometimes a few words on a tombstone can suggest a whole life story; sometimes you can find a famous name, a beautiful work of art, or landscaping worthy of a botanical garden. In Boston the Old Granary Burying Ground was established in 1660, but it is most famous for its connections to the War of Independence over a century later. Here you'll find the graves of Paul Revere, who famously rode a horse in 1775 to deliver warnings about the British Army; victims of the 1770 Boston Massacre, including Crispus Attucks, a runaway slave believed ...

After I began to visit historic African American cemeteries during my travel writing sojourns, I came to appreciate not only the tangible elements that my friend so enjoyed capturing on film, but also the connection I began to feel with these folks--former slaves, entrepreneurs, soldiers, civil rights activists, musicians, politicians, schoolteachers, lawyers, doctors, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters--who in their own ways helped paved the way for the life that I now enjoy as an African American. Just north of downtown Dallas, Freedman's Cemetery is a pre-Civil War African American burial ground in what was once the Freedman's Town Area, a small Dallas community formed by Blacks freed from slavery in the mid-1860's. This is one of the largest freedman cemeteries in the country, and...
DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am in charge of one of the main projects for the Maine Old Cemetery Association -- documenting all of Maine's old cemeteries. I would like to ask for help from all of the hunters and others who spend time in the woods in areas that most people never get to. Many hunters now use GPS as they enter the woods, and it would be a great help if they could GPS the location of any old family cemeteries they come across.
