Here, under the loving care of Green and his good wife Nancy, Lincoln remained until he was once more master of himself. But though he had regained self-control, his grief was deep and bitter. Ann Rutledge was buried in Concord cemetery, a country burying-ground seven miles northwest of New Salem. To this lonely spot Lincoln frequently journeyed to weep over her grave.
Pity old Sam Hopkins hadn't come, too; we'd have made a man of him, poor, dear, good old Christian heathen! There he lies, as peaceful as a young baby, in the old burying-ground! I've stood on the slab many a time. Meant well, meant well. Juggernaut.
Morgiana, as a slave to the deceased, followed the corpse, weeping, beating her breast, and tearing her hair: and Ali Baba came after with some neighbours, who often relieved the others in carrying the corpse to the burying-ground.
Brought over to San Francisco from Canton when a young girl, she had married Shan Tong with all the ceremony and merry-making which characterise a Chinese wedding, with its processions and feasting and the noise of its firecrackers; but some four or five years ago death claimed her husband, and she was left to do battle alone, while he was laid to rest in the Chinese burying-ground at the west end of Laurel Hill Cemetery.

The Struggler calls it 'Finsbury burying-ground, where many London Dissenting ministers are laid. Bunhill Fields burying-ground for Dissenters was first opened in 1666.
Then the memory of little Sylvia came to me again, and nothing seemed pleasanter, as a benediction to the old days, than a visit to the burying-ground where she was sleeping.
"If that child was to die," this was his reflection as he turned his back and went his way, "and it would almost serve the fellow right for making such a fool of himself, I suppose we should have him sticking up a wreath and a waiter in that fantastic burying-ground."
