1. STJCEM_121122_059.JPG: Note the bottom of the markers. They used to be buried further in the ground so you didn't notice that the markers had actually been reused. It's also interesting that the wording is backwards on the older portion.

He kept millions in chains with the Dred Scott Decision and other decisions but he was okay because he was pious. Right... I'm always saddened to realize that both Roger Taney and Spiro Agnew are Marylanders.]

Wikipedia Description: St. John's Cemetery, Frederick, Maryland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

St. John’s Cemetery is a Roman Catholic cemetery located in Frederick, Maryland. The cemetery is operated by St. John the Evangelist Holy Catholic Church in Frederick, Maryland. The cemetery is located at East 3rd Street Frederick, Maryland 21701.

History

The grounds which would become St. John’s Cemetery was first used as a cemetery for the internment of Henry, a free black man who died of cholera in 1832. St. John’s Cemetery was officially established in 1845.

St John’s Cemetery contains a number of graves from French settlers who fled the St. Domingue Slave revolt of 1791. The family of Etienne Bellumeau de la Vincendi�re made their way to Frederick, Maryland possibly via Charleston, South Carolina. Etienne established himself in Charleston and was moved to Frederick to be buried in the family plot with his wife Margeurite. His eldest daughter Victoire, acquired the land and managed L’Hermitage plantation, notorious for the poor treatment of its many slaves, her sister Adelaide and her nephew Enoch Louis Lowe are also buried at St John’s Cemetery. Lowe would become the 29th Governor of Maryland. John Payne Boisneuf, brother of Etienne, is buried nearby. Boisneuf was among the many French nationals who condemned Marie Antoinette to death in France on October 16, 1793. Three French soldiers are buried at St. John’s Cemetery. Francis Luber and Herman Weber fought for Napoleon Bonaparte at the battle of Waterloo. Peter Nicolas Simard, buried nearby, was a member of the National Order of the Legion of Honour.

There are 3 soldiers from the Revolutionary War, 1 from the French and Indian War, 17 from the War of 1812, 16 confederate and 34 union soldiers from the American Civil War, as well as veterans from World War I, World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War.

2012 photos: Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA), a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean, another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else.. Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
