Queen Elizabeth II (Ramey)

The Queen had visited Virginia on two occasions dating back to 1957 with a royal visit to Jamestown and Williamsburg.

Birds Eye View of Jacksonville, Fl

On the wall in the Brandenburg Hall of Oak Lawn Cemetery off of San Jose Blvd, there is a massive and beautiful map of Jacksonville, Florida dated 1876.  If ever you can, you should drop by and take a look. It will cause you to want to take a photo. The same arial view of Jacksonville can be found in the Library of Congress. 

This map has the seal and number so I assume it is one of the authentic copies of the city, like the one donated to the Library of Congress by Alvord, Kellogg and Campbell dated 1840. This seal indicates 1876.

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.” Matthew 5:14
