I must admit that generally, I prefer to go to cemeteries and graveyards by myself, so as not to bore my friends!<br /><br />I wonder if you may have a wider shot of this Dutch graveyard, to show it between two ordinary buildings. It may be that a church also stood on this site, although I should think they should not have been allowed to knock it down. I know that the Dutch were very important in the early years of NYC but do not know about their importance to Bostoon.<br /><br />I am so glad that our meme has led you to discover new cemeteries in your own neighbourhood.<br /><br />Maybe the Courants were so closely bonded that the husband could not live without the wife. Just a thought ... <br /><br />Next week I will respond to your query about the expression 'meme' and its derivation.<br /><br />I love your style of writing. Keep it up.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071605392067240587.post-15229501497014676382012-02-02T11:25:37.795-05:002012-02-02T11:25:37.795-05:00I have never seen that Van Der Neucker - i guess t...I have never seen that Van Der Neucker - i guess the cemetery is safe.. :DTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421551645441377580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071605392067240587.post-86526231230881158892012-02-01T17:22:16.063-05:002012-02-01T17:22:16.063-05:00Great research!

In California there are small Mexican communities that have formed when one immigrant comes, finds work, then sends home and friends and family join him. There may be a small community of Mexicans, all from one city in Mexico. I wonder if that's what happened in Melrose. And perhaps there was a now gone temple or synagogue that also drew people there.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971991029290518107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071605392067240587.post-48490641769266863152012-02-01T13:21:22.991-05:002012-02-01T13:21:22.991-05:00Hi, great blog you are doing here, and every day, ...Hi, great blog you are doing here, and every day, at that !

On Forest Dale Cemetery (Malden side of Pine Banks) there's a Van der Neucker buried and there was another Dutch/Belgium name on that gravestone.<br /><br />Was wondering about why Hannah and Simon died almost two weeks apart. Tuberculosis? Consumption was a well-known disease among cigar makers and I read that in the 19th century this disease killed more people in New England (particularly Boston area) than any other disease.Manonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901343303724383824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071605392067240587.post-4486464253469182402012-02-01T06:34:54.389-05:002012-02-01T06:34:54.389-05:00That is a great story, a special cemetery for the ...That is a great story, a special cemetery for the dutch, can you believe it?

Like you, I am also enjoying the taphophile tragics a lot! Can't wait to go to a cemetery over here in nyc and post a taphophile tragics myself someday. THanks for all the interesting information in this post, also made me laugh out loud again over your (and Tim's) frustrations, sorry about that :-)Nellieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280581604747080077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071605392067240587.post-80003246160394319142012-01-31T23:26:34.448-05:002012-01-31T23:26:34.448-05:00there were not Dutch ghosts in the cemetery (in co...there were not Dutch ghosts in the cemetery (in contrast to the other one), because the Dutch people are too levelheaded for ghosts. they would say: Ghosts? doe effe normaal.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421551645441377580noreply@blogger.com
