Went to a cemetery today. The newest headstone I saw was mid 1900s, between that and how surprised the person in the church was when I asked if I could walk around I'm guessing they don't get many visitors.
Also yes, I did get permission to take a few pictures after they said it was okay to walk around.
Two sisters, Mary (34) and Rebecca (18) laid to rest next to each other in the mid-to-late 1800s.
I don't have anything to say, I just thought it was both tragic and sweet. Especially since Mary was only about 10 when Rebecca died.
I can't imagine what their parents must have gone through ...
This one just made me sad. No clue how the headstone could have broken, but it didn't look fresh.
The piece with the years of his life/ his age at death was face down and a bit overgrown, and I was worried about breaking it more trying to pry it up. The name "Henry King" is all I know.
Rest in peace Henry King, whoever you were.
