Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1960s, a few volunteers at the Mary Ball Washington Museum (MBWM) in Lancaster, Virginia began collecting inscriptions and making brief location notes on the rapidly disappearing family cemeteries of Lancaster County. In early 1999, the compilers of this book began to complete the task by making an extensive search for family burial sites and adding inscriptions from church and community cemeteries. We naively said we would be finished by the end of that year! Clyde and Carolyn Ratcliffe "beat the bushes" to locate family cemeteries, some with a single gravestone. Peggy and John Hill transcribed stones in church and community cemeteries. We found ancient and modern flat table markers. We found ordinary markers with only birth and death dates. There were homemade, handlettered markers of cement and even a few made of wood. We found a few graves marked with statuary and many marked with obelisks. We hope we have found the grave marker that is of vital interest to you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume invites readers to get up close and personal with one of the most respected and beloved writers of the last four decades. Carolyn J. Sharp has transcribed numerous table conversations between Walter Brueggemann and his colleagues and former students, in addition to several of his addresses and sermons from both academic and congregational settings. The result is the essential Brueggemann: readers will learn about his views on scholarship, faith, and the church; get insights into his "contagious charisma," grace, and charity; and appreciate the candid reflections on the fears, uncertainties, and difficulties he faced over the course of his career. Anyone interested in Brueggemann's work and thoughts will be gifted with thought-provoking, inspirational reading from within these pages.

Download or read book Hidden History written by Lynn Rainville and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2014-02-12 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hidden History, Lynn Rainville travels through the forgotten African American cemeteries of central Virginia to recover information crucial to the stories of the black families who lived and worked there for over two hundred years. The subjects of Rainville’s research are not statesmen or plantation elites; they are hidden residents, people who are typically underrepresented in historical research but whose stories are essential for a complete understanding of our national past. Rainville studied above-ground funerary remains in over 150 historic African American cemeteries to provide an overview of mortuary and funerary practices from the late eighteenth century to the end of the twentieth. Combining historical, anthropological, and archaeological perspectives, she analyzes documents—such as wills, obituaries, and letters—as well as gravestones and graveside offerings. Rainville’s findings shed light on family genealogies, the rise and fall of segregation, and attitudes toward religion and death. As many of these cemeteries are either endangered or already destroyed, the book includes a discussion on the challenges of preservation and how the reader may visit, and help preserve, these valuable cultural assets.
