A couple towns over from me there are 2 old cemeteries. One well maintained and the other not. Both date from the mid 1800's.

Family obelisk. All the names are carved on the side with smaller stones running parallel along the plot.


Polished granite. Must be a replacement stone as there are no others similar to this one.


Must have been some time since the grounds were maintained.


Slate headstone. Very hard to read even in person. I think the person died around 1845.



A few from the well kept one.






Oldest headstone I found in this one. Dates to 1772.


And a couple from a nearby field. Just to break up the ghoulishness...
