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.



S.M. Coelho died about 1945

S.M.COELHO

DIED IN THE 1940'S

ACCORDING TO THE NEARBY
BURIALS

I'm taking the risk of gueessing that 

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