My great great grandfather, Ferdinand Hahn died May 3 1910 and is buried in Camels Back Cemetery.
his grave in 1910
i was unable to find the grave but discovered a beautiful view from where the grave site might be
From the journal of his widow Doris:
"The funeral was set for 5 pm. Mr. Gass had told me earlier that only the English clergy was allowed to officiate in the cemetery; no out-of-towner. But Mr. Stoll gave a little meditation in English at the casket, on the porch where the mission Brothers and Sisters Stoll, Gass and Wiens had joined us mourners. Then began the heavy, heavy walk to the cemetery – through the city, past walkers, market people, dandies, etc. – without singing, without bells ringing – only with a heart filled with pain, on the same path which the dear Papa had so often loved to walk. Oh, I could hardly walk, and it was good that someone offered me a dandy which brought me the rest of the way. At the entrance of the cemetery, Chaplain Law, a slender man, stepped in front of the casket and guided the small procession down several slopes, reading Psalms, down to the lowest terrace of the picturesquely arranged cemetery of Mussourie. There, the four gentlemen let the casket down into the tomb, and there, our dear, dear father is now resting until the great resurrection day; resting from all his struggles, worries and works of this poor life, and sees the One in whom he has believed here and whom he has loved above all. But we mourn after him and will never, never forget him."
Prem Singh, the watchman assures me he will keep looking. my allergies flared up so i had to call it quits
most graves are covered in moss or have lost all markings. i worked with the watchman to uncover about 12 graves to no avail.

#1 no no....i gave these kids some money to take their picture. One should then be prepared to give them each the same amount. One didn't like that he got only 1 rupee and another didn't know what to do with 2 Euros! The older one hopefully will know how to divide the 10 rupees among them.
