Description of Subject Matter: Green Hill Cemetery. Established in 1863, Green Hill was the first of three connecting cemeteries laid out on the old Green estate. Dr. N. T. Green died in 1860, and since at least the turn of the century his remains have been located in this cemetery that bears his name. (Originally he was buried in a family graveyard near his farmhouse). With its pleasant winding drives, Green Hill is typical of the Romantic layout of mid-19th century municipal cemeteries. In addition to many other notable Danvillians interred here, a number of Confederate veterans also rest in Green hill. Among the most prominent is Danville's quartermaster Maj. William T. Sutherlin. "Confederate Row" leads to Danville's Confederate Soldiers Monument. This 16-ton obelisk and base of Virginia granite stands 32 feet atop a six-foot artificial mound. It was dedicated 3 September 1878 and paid for with $2,000 raised by the Ladies Memorial Association.

1998 photos: Since 1984, I've lived in Silver Spring, Maryland. From 1981 to 2002, photos were taken using a Pentax ME Super camera. From 1989 to 2002, I was doing all pictures as prints (instead of slides which I had grown up on). In 1997, at the age of 40, my photo obsession began and I started taking thousands of photos per year. In September, 2002, I switched to digital cameras and the number of photos exploded. Trips this year: More Civil War touring (Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee), a work trip to Chicago and Louisiana, and family visits to Michigan and North Carolina. Image quality for my pictures is variable because these are scans of slides and/or prints at varying quality/resolutions. The Great Pandemic Digitizing Project: When I was first setting up my website in August, 2000, I had decided to digitize some of my favorite pre-digital slides and prints. The scans were fairly low resolution but they were good enough. With COVID forcing me to stay indoors, I decided to rescan ALL of my pre-digital images from multiple sources (slides, prints, and negatives) at a much higher resolution and quality setting. (I digitized Dad's slides at the same time). Instead of replacing my original scans, I added the new scans to existing pages, figuring I'd select the best ones later. As a result, multiple versions of images appear on most of these early pages. At some point, I'll take the time to do a final review and get rid of the duplicates.
