| IN LOVING MEMORY OF JOY ISABEL PARKINSON BORN 06 JANUARY 1931 DIED 04 APRIL 1998 THE LORD GAVE AND THE LORD HATH TAKEN AWAY ERECTED BY HER DAUGHTERS HILARY, SANDRA, JEAN AND ANITA |
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)

| ARTHUR E LUNN DIED SEPTEMBER 14 1995 BURIED ON SEPT 15 AGED 86. Arthur E Lunn studied at La Martiniere College, Lucknow and was an old faithful to his alma mater where he visited over the years, his last visit being 1995 to celebrate the institution's sesquicentennial during Founder's Day September 13. He passed on the next day. Arthur Lunn was Principal of Bishop's School, Pune. He later opened 'Constantia Hostel' in Dehradoon' . The pic is from a Hostel Facebook page. Mr Lunn was not Cambrian Hall principal as I had written earlier but served on the institution's board for many years. An old Martinian and vice principal of the College for many years, Mr Frank D'Souza, also passed away shortly after the 1995 anniversary. After retirement Mr D'Souza continued to live on the campus, first in a residence he was permitted to construct near the college infirmary, and later when infirmity had set in towards his last few months, stayed in the principal's residence. Mr D'Souza was buried in the Bandaryabagh Cemetery where the remains of Mr Victor Raynor and former principal, Lt Col HRH Daniel are interred. The grave lay neglected these past 19 years till a request for a pic of the grave from Klyne Aitkins (in Australia) who had been a teacher under Mr Lunn at Bishop's. Warren Anderson took the pic after having the grave cleaned as well as possible. Klyne and Warren also happen to be old Martinians . |

Meera Barrow died about 1990
MEERA BARROW
Meera was the mother of a daughter, Shagun.
DIED CIRCA 1990 WAS A TEACHER AT
ST AGNES' DAY SCHOOL, STATION RD.,
LUCKNOW.
(This is near the north wall at the end of the path directly opposite the entrance. It was sickening to see someone had had a crap, visible in the pic, between the graves. On this visit I'd noticed the boundary wall with a few bricks missing to make it easier for the crapper to climb over.)
