For want of much else to do today, I took pictures of the local (weedy, ramshackle) cemetery. I heard there was a Civil War veteran there and after much wandering I finally found him - Confederate!!! Well! The modern grave marker must have been added by the historical society or a decendent. There were some graves as late as 2007, including one young Marine. All-in-all, it's a very home-made Wild West style cemetery and on a bumpy slope facing the river. I'm not sure I've ever before been in a cemetery that has humps where the bodies are and that was interesting. As in any old one, there are a lot of infants and young children, some were siblings who died close together and presumably from disease. These could have died in an accident: There was a spectacular redneck gravestone. It was silver painted and the top part was threaded. It was made of cast, solid iron. It's a part of ...something... and I would bet it has to do with logging or mill equipment.
