valis2I decided to split today's cemetery walk into two groups of pictures. These are the pictures of some of the more interesting gravestones.
There are soldiers who fought in every major American skirmish (except Desert War) in this cemetery. This is the grave of a Revolutionary War soldier.
A stone in the grass.
Narcissa.
Beautiful willow detail from a stone. Willows were signs of sadness, that the family missed their loved one.
A detail from a gravestone.
A long shot of one part of the cemetery.
This chapel was built after the original burned down just after the turn of the century. The funds were raised by a local women's charitable organization, and construction was completed in 1913. It cost $800 to build.
The tin ceiling of the chapel.
