I love old graveyards, it’s like walking through history. Many of the old gravestones are very informative, or funny.

This is one of the graveyards in Jerome, Arizona, an old mining town and artist’s community. One of the people buried here even fought in the Spanish-American war.

As you walk around this graveyard you see all the burial sites that have some kind of fencing around them, but I’m sure there are other people buried here that had no fencing. Every so often you see a depression on or near a path that looks just like some of the depressions in the fenced off burial sites. This is probably a depression made when a coffin finally collapsed due to age. So tread lightly here as you may well be walking on the dead.
