The poem on the tombstone in the last pic is an excerpt from "The Bivouac of the Dead" by Theodore O'Hara. Apparently, it is/was used quite frequently on gravestones for Confederate soldiers. Arlington National cemetery had a page about it, complete with full text and some history about the poem.

Can anyone determine what the music score inscribed in the same tombstone is? Maybe the title or composer?

I believe it's "TAPS".

On an odd note... "TAPS" is also short of "The Atlantic Paranormal Society", the group featured in the Sci-Fi channels "Ghost Hunters". Completely OOG, but interesting none the less.

Oldskool pics. Most were scanned in as far as I can tell. But some appear to be digitally taken. fi: "Nihil sine Deo" 11.jpg.

Is it just a typo... or does 'end' instead of 'went' mean something?

looking at the pictures it seems that there are some "older" and scanned ones and some digital ones. Further more there are some pictures that can be grouped:

18.jpg is the text on the plate of the statue in 15.jpg (or so it seems)
9.jpg contains the same lake as in 14.jpg
13.jpg is the same path as 12.jpg

14.jpg, 13.jpg 16.jpg are at least taken on the same day, according to the moody drooly scenery.

will look at the picture more tomorrow..

Great observation hyperborea,

I see more of those dots in that picture... but i see some on the other pictures as well..

However,

In 1.jpg, there is a grave with the inscription "my mother"

Enlarging this picture shows a lil bit of an edge, just like it has been photoshopped or so.

Can anyone confirm?

And another question:

Did some research on the mt hope cemetery in rochester and found some kewl things:

a picture gallery
several essays and reports on people buried there especially researching the headstones and grave markers.
online exhibition
more grave descriptions

The pond that is in the pictures is probably called the "bank of lilly pond"

Greetz,

D.
