Generals at Rest

[mt155]

Thanks @mt155 for this thread. I love old cemeteries and it's way cool to see the final resting place of all these generals. Thanks to all who've added images. I've been lucky to see some of these but most are new to me.

Glad you enjoy looking.....I have a few more to come.

Bellefontaine & Calvary are two of my favorite cemeteries to visit whenever in St. Louis. Very many noteworthy graves to visit & well kept grounds.

Yes there are, i had no idea before my first visit there how many famous or well known people, from all walks of life are there. Samuel Hawken the famous frontiersman and inventor of the Hawkens rifle is there and has a really cool tombstone, also William Clark of Lewis and Clark fame. Cant forget Dredd Scott whose famous court case was a kinda catalyst for the whole war over slavery issue.
Thanks mt155, neat thread.

Thanks for the pictures. I've got great grandparents buried at Bellefontaine. Another interesting couple of guys buried there are Joseph Lawrence and Jordan W. Lambert who invented and marketed Listerine. A classic place.

Some beautiful images! I'm surprised how ornate some graves were and how simple/austere others were.

I personally find cemeteries very relaxing and friendly places to visit, full of spirits happy to have visitors.
