railfancwb Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 The burned out Catholic Church building, whose picture I posted earlier, also had a cemetery. It was too far away to show up with the building. A large number of the graves were of young children. Losing children to accident and disease, and wives to childbirth, were all too common in the nation’s younger days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking into getting it restored by a guy that specializes in accutron's but it would cost more that the watch did when it was new. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always lusted over these. but my problem is that I never know today's date. But maybe when restored it may be worth more than it was when new!

It's kind of sad that a once close community doesn't offer enough to the young people, and they leave while this culture dies. I can probably find a dozen or so small cemeteries within a half hour of my rural house. Some are apparently no longer used at all, some are used from time to time, some used fairly regularly. The ones no longer used may be old family cemeteries with no remaining family members in the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One just up the road a short distance, has a dirt drive going up the hill through the tree to a opening with a dozen or so stones. Rain washes out the drive sometime but someone grades it and maintains the area around the stones. Have no idea who takes care of it, we do have a group in the community that maintains pioneer cemeteries. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sad when someone cared to place a stone on a grave and later no one cares to maintain it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
