Forgotten Graves


I really am not on a death theme this week; but while out in the woods on a hike, I came across a long abandoned cemetery. Most of the two dozen graves were marked only by rocks, but a few did gravestones with dates well back into the 1800's. It makes you wonder how many other cemeteries have been lost to the ongoing march of time.

A treasure to find!

Where is it? I've run across several out in the woods. One was very large with many graves and each place had a single stone marking the head and foot.

It is an interesting find. I'm sure there are many that were never even marked, or the markers are long gone.

These stones were in the woods, near High Falls State Park
