In Lucknow, as in other parts of the world, graves mean little to some people, but a search on the internet proves otherwise! What one will find on this blog isn't even 'a drop in the vast ocean' of tears that would have been shed if it were possible to calculate. The names, the sad poetry, quotes and expression of grief of the loved ones all being ground to dust.
"...We always say that the history of a parish is in its graveyards..." Passage West (from a blog and book by Jim Murphy)

Edward McKenna Died 1915
The grave of EDWARD MCKENNA (died 1915), father of Mable Shepherd, my grandmother. The grave in the Nishatganj, Lucknow cemetery, is in poor condition and one wonders how long it will survive seeing the need for more burial space.
