Also in the picture left to right are #4 Sidney Leslie Goodwin (Unknown Child), #301 E. Poggie, #186 Ernest Price and #2 J. W. Marriot. Updated

As far as I can tell, I am the only person with a full set of
pictures of all the graves newly refurbished in 1999, except for the
Jewish cemetery Baron de Hirsch. All these
pictures are to share with you and you have my permission to
download them for personal, non-commercial use and to post on your
own websites, just give me credit and place a link to where you got
them somewhere on your website please.
#243 E. J. Stone could possibly be a
relative of ours. We are now researching our family
history to find out. There are many discrepancies
with E. J. Stone's name and another Stone crew member, also an Stone. Discovery has been made by myself and
researcher Steve Coombes followed up with more. If you would like to read more about it check out
my webpage.
Note: Alma Pålsson was not found with her children. None of her children were found. You can read about Alma on Encyclopedia Titanica. One of the saddest and heartbreaking Titanic stories. Many gifts for the children are left at her grave on a steady bases, usually in fours for the four children. This is the 100th Anniversary, April 15th, 2012.
#4 The Unknown Child's grave was paid for by the crew of
the MacKay-Bennett who retrieved his little body from the sea, the
fourth body found. They were so moved by the death of this child, he
set the tone for the recovery mission, they were the ones picked out
of many donators who wanted to pay for the burial. They also carried
the casket in a formal procession. It is wished that the boy was Alma and Nils Pålsson's youngest child Gosta,
ironically buried only a few feet from his mother.
Master Sidney Leslie Goodwin
Sidney Leslie
#209 Arthur Gordon McCrae has the biggest tombstone
of the Titanic graves. He was from Australia and was
traveling to Canada as a second class passenger to visit friends. The tombstone erected is called the
Celtic Cross.
#218 Mr. Herbert Cave was a First Class Steward
who had among his effects recovered was a partial listing of first class
cabin accommodations. Apparently the only record ever found.
#252 Only 19 years old, Mr. George H.
Dean was a member of the Victualling Crew (food supplies), an Assistant Saloon Steward.
His parents
were obviously devastated that they lost him so soon.
Fairview Lawn
Cemetery It was so strange not to see them there after visiting so many times.
Titanic Graves video in Fairview Lawn Cemetery, NS April 15th, 2007. I also made a video of the Titanic Graves
on the 95th Anniversary. It's almost 10 minutes long. Turn on your speakers to
hear the music. A simple unedited home video with added pictures at the end and
some Technicolor taken with my digital camera video setting. Nothing fancy, lots
of jumpy and blurry. I had to be quick as there was a tour bus due and I didn't
know how much taping time I had. I could not get all the names on film. I also
want to shout out to all the Titanic souls in Mount Olivet Cemetery and Baron de
Hirsch cemetery who did not make it on this video. Titanic Graves 95th Anniversary
Here is my 100th Anniversary video pretty much the same as
the other one.

when Three Titanic Bodies were Exhumed in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2001 later

Leslie Goodwin contacted me and thanked me when they found this diary.

#227 The infamous J. Dawson grave
that people adopted as Jack from James Cameron's Titanic movie. Many flowers,
stuffed toys, hearts, movie tickets and more were placed on his grave every day during the release
of the movie and for many years after. Still today there
is usually something there. People want to
remember when a good man dies.
#206 Alma Pålsson
(Paulson on the grave) was found with the
four third class tickets belonging to her beloved children Torburg 8, Paul 6, Stina
4 and Gosta 2. Her husband Nils had previously traveled to America to
find work and set up the families new home and their "American Dream." I
read that upon receiving the news of the disaster Mr. Pålsson collapsed with grief
and became very ill. One can only imagine the moment
in time for that man losing his entire family. We salute you Mr. Pålsson
and
everyone else who lost their spouses and children to the sea.
#110 Mr. William Henry Harrison is said
to have been a secretary or personal assistant to Titanic owner J. Bruce Ismay. He boarded
the Titanic at Southampton with Mr. Ismay and Ismay's valet Richard Fry. His
grave is right next to the Unknown Child and it is said he was placed there to watch over the child.
He is a favourite for many tourists because he watches the over the child's
grave.
#239 Mr.
Ernest Edward Samuel Freeman was J. Bruce Ismay's
personal secretary as well as a Chief Deck Steward
on board Titanic. Mr. Ismay had this tombstone erected in his honour, some
say out of guilt for his decision not to put enough lifeboats on the ship
to save everyone.
#317 Mr.
Everett Edward Elliot was a crew member on the Titanic as a trimmer and his family must have erected this more expensive tombstone. I was really
moved by the inscription. 
#321 Mr. Ernest Waldron King was listed as a
crew member, a Clerk-Pursers Assistant, his address says
#327 Mr. Harold Reynolds was a third class
passenger who was coming to Canada to work as a baker. He had a friend
or relative who had previously came to Canada as a baker and was successful, he was awaiting his arrival. Only 21 years old.
#150 Only 20 years old Mr. George
Fredrick Charles Talbot was
a crew member, a third class Steward. His gravestone was erected by his grieving parents.
A verse from the song 'The Haven of Rest' by Henry L. Gilmour appears on the
gravestone.
