Historical Cemetery




Just around the corner from our home on Salmon Creek road in Seward is a cute little historical cemetery. I thought it was an appropriate post for Halloween!






Some of the graves date back to the 1850's. Its interesting looking at all these dates as many of them were only my age (mid-late twenties) when they died. There are alot of infant graves as well which is sad.



I noticed this one below, Samuel Clemons who was born in England, which is also where I was born and raised.

Nice, neat and orderly graveyard. Love the photo effect you used on Samuel Clemons grave cross. Maybe you could place a flower there now and again, in respect for a fellow buried so far from his homeland. Makes you wonder about his story.
