Francis J. Funke - a photo on Flickriver

Francis J. Funke

            Translation:
Died on the ?? March 185?
at the age of 28 Years 4 Months
"I know that my redeemer lives, and
I will look upon my God in my flesh"
Job XIX.25,26."

A marker for one of obvious German heritage located at the Tollgate Cemetery in Jamaica Plain, a Boston neighborhood. Less than one acre in size, the Tollgate sits wedged between Hyde Park Avenue and the MBTA commuter rail just down from Forest Hills Station. 

Opened in the 1850s by the Catholic Church to serve the rising numbers of immigrants from Ireland and Germany, the last burial here was over a century ago. It’s been unattended for quite some time, no organization or municipality claiming responsibility for its upkeep, basically abandoned. Numerous other headstones are damaged or unreadable from vandals or neglect, with more graves likely unmarked. 

I find a certain irony that the Tollgate is located less than a mile down the road from the famous Forest Hills Cemetery, a grand rural style cemetery located on some 275 meticulously maintained acres, also in Jamaica Plain.
