I realized that I had never walked around that particular cemetery in the twenty plus years we have been coming here.
The entrance
I did find a few interesting tombstones.
This guy came to a sad ending.
I know that you can't read this, but this guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time. A young lady who was a employee of a brothel on Bluff St, was trying to shoot a another guy, and missed. Poor Louis took the bullet.
This was a sad one for sure. I thought the fencing looked like a baby crib.
On a lighter note. This dog showed up when I was in the cemetery, and wanted to play fetch. So I threw sticks to him for awhile. Do you like to walk through old cemeteries?

ReplyDeleteIt can be really interesting Janey. I see guns have been a problem for a very long time.

ReplyDeleteI find them fascinating places. Luckily for you pollution doesn't erode the inscriptions as it does here in London. There must be many interesting gravestones there.
ReplyDeleteglad the dog was friendly and obviously just looking for a game. :)
ReplyDeleteI love wandering through cemeteries - there is a timelessness and peacefulness in them. My all time favourite is Père Lachaise in Paris
ReplyDeleteFor a while I was interested in cemetaries but after a sad funeral of a nephew last year I don't like to walk there anymore.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things to do.
ReplyDeleteShot and killed... how typical of certain parts of the West. Ellen Williams' grave is quite poignant.
