Dudley Park Cemetery
Dudley Park Cemetery is a cemetery in Dudley Park, a northern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. The cemetery caters for various forms of burial and memorial in different areas. The ''Caroline Gardens'' area is based around the former Caroline Square in the original plan for the village of Islington. The square was the site of a Primitive Methodist chapel established in 1845 and its burial ground was established in 1864. The cemetery was originally known as the Islington Cemetery. In 1922, a letter to the editor of a newspaper noted that the closest railway station to the Islington Methodist Cemetery was the Dudley Park railway station, not the Islington railway station further north. A few years later, the name of the cemetery was changed to Dudley Park at which time it had 900 people buried. In 1936, Dudley Park Cemetery was considered to have sufficient land to operate for at least another 60 years without further extension. Payneham Cemetery was operated by the same Meth ...

Arthur Erwin Vogt
Arthur is a common male given name of Brythonic origin. Its popularity derives from it being the name of the legendary hero King Arthur. The etymology is disputed. It may derive from the Celtic ''Artos'' meaning “Bear”. Another theory, more widely believed, is that the name is derived from the Roman clan '' Artorius'' who lived in Roman Britain for centuries. A common spelling variant used in many Slavic, Romance, and Germanic languages is Artur. In Spanish and Italian it is Arturo. Etymology The earliest datable attestation of the name Arthur is in the early 9th century Welsh-Latin text '' Historia Brittonum'', where it refers to a circa 5th to 6th-century Briton general who fought against the invading Saxons, and who later gave rise to the famous King Arthur of medieval legend and literature.
