I like visiting the old cemetery also, there were not any restrictions as far as we know. We sure learned a lot from the children giving presentations though.

I enjoy exploring the various monuments and crypt to get ideas for our Haunted Trail cemetery. Curious, was there any negative push on the Confederate aspects. We visited a site in Biloxi, MS called Beauvoir and they were restricted from government money as they were “preserving” Confederate history etc. Samuel Davis was the only grave that could have an American flag because had fought in the Revolutionary War.

You are welcome RJ, yes it is quite the cemetery to visit. We walked around there for quite awhile. Looking at all those who have passed, most of them people that were just lost in the times. No one knows who they are or who they were.

Yes, the ladies of the town broke the mold when they put flowers on all the graves no matter who they were.

The sucken headstones at our cemetery are from illegal drilling of oil under the cemetery. You can see the oil rigs in the background of Ansel Adams’ “Angel of Sorrow”, which is a headstone/monument at the cemetery
