Gateposts
This was the second of three cemeteries I visited yesterday, and by far the most visually appealing. It’s on a narrow gravel road, and the entrance is nearly hidden by trees. The cemetery itself, while along the roadside, is completely ringed by trees, with deep woods on three sides. Very atmospheric. And, unfortunately, also very neglected. It had been mowed recently, but the stones were in pretty poor condition. The largest monument was lying in pieces. Most of the headstones were small, including a couple of fieldstone markers. There were also a few markers that were worn completely smooth.
