Description
This is the sign for the whole cemetary complex (which I am told by the old timers consists of 29 cemetaries) All are ethnic, fraternal, or veteran!!!
Dates back to 1883 with some sites reserved for present day ancestors!!!! The two you see on either side of the sign are only a sample!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent work,
How interesting! I'm putting this on my list of places I want to see. Thanks for the heads-up!
cool shot. I like history places
so they got the groups together for a foto shoot before burying them?only joking. I suppose you heard about why cemeteries or so popular?people are dying to get in I can imagine how old some of the graves must be.an old grave here locally dates from the mid 1800's to present
Most old cemetaries around here are just old not historic.
For those of you interested in graves, try http://www.findagrave.com/ to see some history. It is an interesting site. Some of the engravings on the headstones are quite entertaining, especially those that go back 100 years, or more.
Great shot, seems to be an interesting place!
Great shot, pity you could not have taken it in portrait mode as we can almost read the words, I think if you had done and got that bit closer we could have read every one. It's still and excellent shot and a nice bit of information. I too like walking about in old graveyards, just reading some of the inscriptions on the headstones. Bravo!!!!!
Excellent work!
Good shot erland
if ever i want some peace and quiet i go visit my mum .its amazing how quiet it is in a cemetery regardless of the noise going on in the outside world .excellent shot my friend mick
Very interesting! I just checked this out on Wikipedia and it is fascinating.A big mining town with some horrific accidents.The history is well documented and well preserved for future generations.Lovely capture and thank-you for the history lesson.I always want to learn!
Hello my dear friend , A true beauty of photography, million of stars and congratulations!!Hug and kiss in Your heart.(Thanks you very much for you comments) Happy Sunday. Luminous blesing. Ludy Lament to sign so late.Sorry to have that to write the same thing in English to all, but are few the words that I have in English to say. I do not receive the mail of Renderosity:-(
One of my many hobbies is genealogy. This summer my son and I visited many a cemetary. We have some funny stories, but we were on the hunt for a distant cousin to my son. She was buried in a small public cemetary on someone's private land. Most of the tombstones were neatly kept but the nearby farmer said Mildred was buried in the back through the thicket. We found her, and snap the shot. We had a great trip thru the back roads of Kentucky. This is a great shot.
cemetaries are interesting places to visit when there are old graves to see and read the dates and how people died, i am going to visit some of ours soon but have to take someone with me as it isnt safe by myself as there are what we call 'park people' that live there, mainly half cast aboriginals that drink and sleep in the cemetary and they can be some what scary at times
Wish I could one day see this place, I find things like this so interesting !
