Modern Problems in Historic Cemeteries by Frances Ford
Modern Problems in Historic Cemeteries by Frances Ford
Charleston is a well loved historic city and in no small part due to its lovely churchyards which sit next to its numerous houses of worship. Known as the “Holy City,” over two dozen churches are located in the historic district of the peninsula and half of them have adjoining churchyards. Many are no longer active which has led in some part to their deterioration. Others, while active, try to balance the conservation of historic monuments with the addition of new burials and new markers. So as a conservator it has become increasingly surprising (and frightening) that it’s the newer monuments that are constantly requiring interventions to keep visitors safe.
Some level of deterioration is expected when a tablet or ledger is from Charleston’s colonial days. The earliest marker in the city still extant is most likely the Simons vault located in the Circular Churchyard, said to date to 1698-99. Many early eighteenth-century slate stones still exist in the Circular Church graveyard and in the churchyard of nearby Saint Philip’s. These stones are well documented to have come from New England since the low country of South Carolina had no resources for quarrying stone. The modern stone of choice in Charleston (as I would think is true all over the United States) is granite. Modern granite markers are evident in many Charleston colonial churchyards, including the French Huguenot Church and Saint Philip’s where internment is still allowed. In recent years it is increasingly these stones which are failing: tablets falling off of bases, large crosses wobbling and turning on a small pin, plaque markers and ledgers at grade sinking into the ground.
Are the construction techniques for modern monuments such that the safety of visitors to historic churchyards is at a greater risk? Is it the responsibility of the churches to dictate to modern monument installers a code of conduct? Is this a local issue or is it wide spread? Historic construction practice finds that markers of numerous pieces were cut or carved to fit together like puzzle pieces, each locking into the other; in the case of stone chest tombs or tablets cut with a tab to fit neatly into the opening in the base (die in socket). A die on a flat base would be connected with large iron pins and lime mortar. It is surprising that the manufacturers of today do not follow this historic example. Connection between multiple pieces can only be truly secure when pins are in place along with the adhesive. Sheer weight should not be used as a connecting mechanism.
This paper will look closely at the conservation issues now facing the historic church yards on the peninsula of Charleston, SC. Specifically looking at examples of modern monument failure, its causes and offering some solutions for the future.

From Cedar Hill Cemetery in Vicksburg.
Featuring Friendship Cemetery in Columbus, Natchez City Cemetery and the Chapel of the Cross Cemetery in Madison County.
Cemeteries around the state are hallowed places that tell us a lot about our history, like Cedar Hill Cemetery in Vicksburg, one of the country’s oldest and largest cemeteries that’s still in use today. Then we head up to Friendship Cemetery in Columbus where our national Memorial Day holiday has its roots. Down Highway 61 in Natchez, many of the state’s first settlers found their resting places. Finally, the haunting story of Henry Vick at Chapel of the Cross in Madison County plays a central role in that area’s history.

Huge Classic Car Junkyard - Wrecked Vintage Muscle Cars
This is a tribute to one of the largest and best classic car junkyards in the world, Bob's Auto Parts in Fostoria, Michigan. At one time this yard had well over 1,200 antique and classic cars. Sadly in 2008 the owner Bob Zimmerman died. There were several auctions to sell off all the parts and cars, but sadly only about 300 cars were saved and the rest were crushed. :(

SUMMARY
=======
Mobile ( moh-BEEL; French pronunciation: [mɔ.bil]) is the county seat of Mobile County, Alabama, United States. The population within the city limits was 195,111 as of the 2010 United States Census, making it the third most populous city in Alabama, the most populous in Mobile County, and the largest municipality on the Gulf Coast between New Orleans, Louisiana, and St. Petersburg, Florida.
Alabama's only saltwater port, Mobile is located on the Mobile River at the head of the Mobile Bay and the north-central Gulf Coast. The Port of Mobile has always played a key role in the economic health of the city, beginning with the settlement as an important trading center between the French colonists and Native Americans, down to its current role as the 12th-largest port in the United States.Mobile is the principal municipality of the Mobile metropolitan area. This region of 412,992 residents is composed solely of Mobile County; it is the third-largest metropolitan statistical area in the state. Mobile is the largest city in the Mobile-Daphne−Fairhope CSA, with a total population of 604,726, the second largest in the state. As of 2011, the population within a 60-mile (100 km) radius of Mobile is 1,262,907.Mobile was established in 1702 by the French as the first capital of colonial La Louisiane (New France). During its first 100 years, Mobile was a colony of France, then Britain, and lastly Spain. Mobile first became a part of the United States of America in 1813, with the annexation by President James Madison of West Florida from Spain. In 1861, Alabama joined the Confederate States of America, which surrendered in 1865.Considered one of the Gulf Coast's cultural centers, Mobile has several art museums, a symphony orchestra, professional opera, professional ballet company, and a large concentration of historic architecture. Mobile is known for having the oldest organized Carnival or Mardi Gras celebrations in the United States. Its French Catholic colonial settlers celebrated this festival from the first decade of the 18th century. Beginning in 1830, Mobile was host to the first formally organized Carnival mystic society to celebrate with a parade in the United States. (In New Orleans such a group is called a krewe.)
Ghost stories and tours of 'haunted' sites are increasingly popular in cities throughout the South,
A doctor who used a guillotine to perform amputations, a wealthy family marred by insanity and a man murdered inside his sealed and boarded-up mansion - just a few of the stories that frighten willing listeners who line up in towns throughout the South to hear ghoulish tales and tour haunted places.
From Charleston to Atlanta to New Orleans and beyond, ghost tours are popular with tourists and locals alike. New Orleans has year-round tours of all the spooky sights in the Crescent City and it is well known in literature and popular culture through stories of vampires, witches and other supernatural creatures. But other Southern cities are stepping up and touting their own haunted histories.
Mary McDonald, who runs the historic Daughters of the American Revolution Richardson house in downtown Mobile has lots of ghost stories. McDonald even has a photograph taken by paranormal investigators of a supposed ghost in one of the upstairs bedrooms.
No one smokes in the home, but people often report the smell of cigar smoke, she said. People have heard non-existent children laughing and playing in the stairwell. Other people say they have watched children's marbles placed on a bed in an upstairs bedroom move without anyone touching them.
But McDonald says her ghostly visitors don't appear to have any bad intentions.
Everybody says that any ghosts they have come across in the house have been very pleased that we are here and taking care of it, she said.
Elsewhere in Mobile, the ghosts are not so content. The story of the owner of one downtown mansion, who was murdered inside his sealed and boarded up residence, is a favorite of Carol Peterson, CEO of Bay City Convention & Tours, Inc. She has conducted ghost tours in downtown Mobile for more than 20 years. People say they still hear the man's ghost making noises from the upstairs bedroom where he was slain, she said.
Nearby New Orleans is well known for its connection with the paranormal, but Peterson said she believes Mobile actually has a stronger haunted history.
We have just as many ghosts and just as many ghost stories because we were founded before New Orleans, she said.
In Pensacola, Florida, one tour guide's favorite story revolves around Pensacola doctor Eugenio Antonio Sierra who was buried in St. Michael's Cemetery in 1849 after he lived to 99. Dr. Sierra used a guillotine to preform amputations. Sierra kept the guillotine in his home office and used it on countless numbers of patients.
