I'll try again.
I found this headstone on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. The farm depicted on the stone was across the road, in a seriously run down and overgrown condition, with no one living there.

I know this is off-topic of headstones but would be interested in seeing a picture of the actual farm as it stands now if you have one.

Mike, That is some great cemetery work. Coupled with the information that is a very nice presentation.Thanks for that.Eric
Eric... Thank you, much appreciated. I was fascinated by the fact the early cemeteries were the forerunner of the National Parks. I've always liked cemeteries.

Great Cemetery pictures! I find cemeteries to be fascinating places, full of history. One of things that interests me is what people will leave behind at their loved ones gravesite.

I too found a headstone with a skull & crossbones on it at the cemetery next to St. Mary's Church in Praha, TX. It was interesting as I had never seen one on a headstone before.
This was on the same headstone.
With this little angel holding it all up.

Thanks JacLee!
Sister Ada rests in a very old cemetery across the street from an old penitentiary once desiginated for women only. I am now close to age 70 and have been fascinated with Sister Ada since I was a teenager. I have never been able to find out anything about her or who she was in real life, except that she was born in the early 1800's. This past summer I was able to visit the cemetery again and I made this trumped up picture to send to my 2 sisters who also have the same fascination for Sister Ada..Jan

This photo wasn't staged, We suspect some kids were playing with the OUIJA Board and scared themselves. We even found some Confederate Soldier grave sites in this small cemetery.

I found Woodsman of World Grave sites at Calvary Cemetery in St. Louis along with a lot of other interesting things. There are many famous people and unusual grave sites.

I bought a camera at a flea market that had some badly damaged film in it. I developed it in the basement and it had some grainy, heat damaged, semi-exposed cemetery images on.
These three were all I could get off the roll.

You need to write a story to go with those pics!
