I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Wikipedia Description: Mount Olivet Cemetery (Frederick)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Olivet Cemetery is a cemetery in Frederick City, Maryland. It was chartered on October 4, 1852 to provide several of the downtown churches more room for interments, after their cemeteries became full. Over time some of these smaller cemeteries were also relocated to Mount Olivet.

Initial shares were sold for US$20 with the intention that after the cemetery was laid out that each share would be exchanged for 12 grave lots. The first burial took place on May 28, 1854.

Persons of note interred:

* George Baer, Jr., (1763-1834), U.S. Congressman for Maryland's 4th District, 1797-1801 & 1815-1817.
* James Cooper (1810-1863), U.S. Congressman and Senator from Pennsylvania, Union Army general
* Barbara Fritchie (1766-1862), American patriot during the Civil War and the subject of John Greenleaf Whittier's 1864 poem.
* Thomas Johnson (1732–1819), the first Governor of Maryland, United States Supreme Court justice
* Francis Scott Key (1779-1843) author of The Star-Spangled Banner the US national anthem
