When were last in the States we were most impressed with how neatly all the cemeteries and plots were kept, which is certainly not always the rule here in Australia.

Thanks to everyone! I'll try to get to all of your interesting diverse posts sometime soon, if I haven't already. I don't post where word verification is required.

Also there are often unusual first names that are not used in this century.

I wonder if playing with the light/shadow features in a photo editing program like Picasa would help you decipher the words on the unreadable stones.

It was laid out ('scuse the pun) on a lawn-covered, wooded hillside & had a creek running through it with two large waterfalls. It was a lovely place to walk, but I don't remember stopping much to read the tombstones along the way. I guess maybe I should have.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834515962367699133.post-61410017610454470942014-06-07T14:49:43.505-04:002014-06-07T14:49:43.505-04:00Elvis are you out there!

Really? Do people just bury someone without some kind of proper authority??
