Sunday Morning @ Belcher Cemetery

-
Image
Spent the morning at Belcher Cemetery. It's just a short walk up Anson Street from where I live--although it is a bit of an uphill climb. Dorothy Wirth in her book on Franklin County cemeteries states the access is through a private drive you need permission for. But Nancy Porter scoffed at that: Just walk up Anson Street until you see a big white house on the left. Just past it on the right is a wooded area that's city property, and there's a path up to the Belcher Cemetery. Willena and I spent a pleasant morning together, digital cameras in hand. I did video surveys of the site as whole and each row of headstones. Willena took many excellent still images of the stonework and the surrounding woods--and of me doing the video surveys. I was impressed with the quality of the construction of the walls and the gate, especially the foundations stones supporting the corners and the joins of the stones.

Photographing Domestic Violence: The Work of Donna Ferrato

This is a work of incredible courage. "It might appear impossible to reconcile the two seemingly discordant narratives of Ms. Ferrato’s photographic career.

And both make the viewer uncomfortable." “I want to start a revolution with my pictures,” she said. “I want to wake people up, make people feel things — either suffering or incredible pleasure, or whatever I am feeling or observing.”  (Tip of the hat to Ophelia Benson )

So while compiling the data of names and dates, I frequently trot out onto the cemetery grounds to survey the headstones and double-check the info on the headstones (bless my digital camera!). And every time I pass by the Butler family plot (Francis Gould Butler et al) I would pass by a small headstone propped up in the corner of the family plot. I knew it didn't belong there, but I kept telling myself, "later." Butler family plot with odd gravestone So then the other night I stopped on my way back from double-checking some inscriptions and read the wayward headstone. Wayward is right: "John Lewis Cutler." I went, what the heck?  There are no Cutlers buried in Center Cemetery. John Lewis Cutler--and no dates To make it worse, there are no dates carved on the stone--just the name. So I'll check the cemetery records at the town Lib...
