The Association of Graveyard Rabbits. Thursday, June 25, 2009. The History Hare - June 25, 2009. Often when researching, I am taken completely by surprise when a simple "nothing extraordinary" photograph or piece of ephemera, turns out to be anything but simple. When research starts it often takes on a life of its own and literally explodes. The etiquette of calling, or visiting, had some very firmly established rules of society. Visiting was viewed as a female occupation and was not done for pleasur...

The Association of Graveyard Rabbits. Saturday, October 19, 2013. A Rabbit's Tale 10/19/2013. Swaffham: The Churchyard in autumn. Held the Manor. The Church itself is a vast indoor cemetery worthy of a visit as it contains the vault of Catherine Steward the maternal grandmother of Oliver Cromwell who came from Swaffham and died here in 1590. Orld War I rest alongside the civilians and at least four men remind us of this tragic period of World history when so many people died for little reason. Swaffh...

The key part of HTML is text - plain old ordinary text that any computer and any app can read. While most of the HTML tags deal with style, there are many that identify parts of the document - headings, paragraphs, lists, block quotes and more. With HTML 5, we'll have even more of these semantic tags. Why do I find this so fascinating? Thanks to HTML, plain text is beautiful. Tech T.I.P. Cemeter...

The Association of Graveyard Rabbits. Friday, May 10, 2013. Photo Monument: A Grave Photo Essay. A set or series of photographs that are intended to tell a story or evoke a series of emotions. George and Edmond Fontaine. On the edge of Highland Cemetery in Pittsburg, KS sits this little guy. John Gary Brown, author of Soul in the Stone; Cemetery Art from America’s Heartland. Calls him a strange child but I find him intriguing. He adorns the grave of George (1906-1906) and Edmond (1908-1908) Fontaine.

The Association of Graveyard Rabbits. Thursday, March 5, 2009. History Hare - March 5, 2009. In Memoriam" - Sent In Pursuit of Booth. Death finds us: young or old, seasoned or green, ready or not (and we seldom are). For some it's lost its sting, for most it never does. We deny, rage, bargain, lament, accept, deny, rage . . . while adding our own nuances. David L. Jacobs. Notices. This was soon supplanted by the newspaper column which became the acceptable medium to announce a bereavement to the world.

The Association of Graveyard Rabbits. Wednesday, April 24, 2013. Riddle me this, Rabbits: Where will you find a cemetery inside another cemetery? Oh, that’s just a wee bit too tough, huh? Okay, let’s try this. What does a Civil War training facility for Union troops, a Prisoner-of-War Camp for Confederate detainees and Mark Twain have in common? The answer to both questions is: Woodlawn Cemetery. Before it became a cemetery, Woodlawn National was a Civil War training facility for Union troops. Eastman ha...
