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..."

George Johnson died 1927
In Memory of
GEORGE JOHNSON
WHO DIED
ON NOVEMBER 18, 1927
AGE 59 YEARS 5 MONTHS
**
ERECTED BY HIS WIDOW
AND CHILDREN
The headstone is missing, and
if I'm not mistaken about the grave,
the beautiful scale model of a steam locomotive, indications of both are
still visible. The headstone, of course,
fits into a slot and has been
broken off while the model was
glued down. Several years ago
I came here to find that the engine
had been stolen.
If this is the grave that had the locomotive
it would be safe to presume that George Johnson
was a railway man!!

Vinay I. Clifford died June 14, 2014
VINAY I. CLIFFORD
son of Late Rev R.B Clifford,
Founder Pastor of Assembly
of Believers Church
DIED JUNE 14, 2014
I was somewhat take aback when I
came upon Vinay's grave during
my visit to the Nishatganj cemetery
on Sat Jan 3 2015. Vinay's father
was a pastor and, if I'm not wrong,
founded the first Believers church
in Lucknow at his residence on
Cantonment road, next to the Lucknow
Publishing House.
The got the date of his passing from
his cousin Ravi Clifford whom I'd
been in touch over the past couple of decades.

Eufrogina Coelho who died in 1938 and
son, Julius was buried by his
mother's side in 2004.
