We really do. People have lived here for 400 years, give or take a decade.

You must come visit! I will take you to the best ones. :)

oo that's unusual i think - apart from servicemen (mainly WW1), I don't recall old gravestones over here recanting cause of death. quite interesting though :)

consumption was very common in the 1800s :(

I've been to a lot of old cemeteries in this area, and you don't really see that much here, either. Very unusual! Especially as they usually paid by the letter.

Whoa. Those are intense all right.

One of my childhood terrors was being bitten by an animal and dying in intense agony from rabies. (I saw too many westerns or something.)

Maybe it was "Old Yeller." Geez that movie made me cry.

These are breathtaking.

You know I'm going to be begging you to let me post some of these when October comes. :)

There's something very moving about the epitaphs, as pitiful as they are. How very sad to be remembered by the freak accident that took your life!

Feel free to post any of my cemetery pix! I love your Halloween posts. :)

It's very sad. I would love to know more about their lives.

You're the best! *hugs* Thank you. I'll credit you, of course. You take the most beautiful pictures.

I would love to know more about their lives.

Me, too!

Aww, thanks! :)

They sure don't!
