Forgotten Resting Places



Saturday my friend Bill drug me all over ( you saw one example on yesterday's post). Another stop was on the Shannon Wenonah Road. When he pulled over on the side of the road and stopped the truck I looked at him and said, " Why are we stopping here, B ?" . His answer, "There's a really old cemetery over there." May I just say right here that "over there" was nothing but woods! Well my photo coffers are low, so I gamely jumped out and climbed a small embankment and started stomping through leaves, limbs, sticker vines etc. Did I fail to mention that I had on my really cute yellow flats that were not condusive to a hike in the woods? Well he was right. There were about 6 grave markers spread over a wide area. Most of the graves in this site have been moved to other locations by the families. The few that were remaining were simple but lovely . Today a few. The gorgeous red leaves in the banner were shot here as well.
