A nice old pioneer cemetery beside much vacant land where a church once stood and was built around 1889 and not sure til when. The cemetery is a little older and saw headstones dating back to the 1850s.The headstones were too close together [front and back] making them hard to read. It must have taken a lot of time to get all that detail [like around the edges, which I haven't seen before] in these headstones back in the day. Surrounded by a farm supply business, now. This pioneer cemetery was set in a ways from the road,under a tree, and not so easy to spot. Glen Allan[close-by] was a busy little town back in the 1880s but could see no sign of Conestogo lake.

You're right and it had to be downloaded first, tho.

Didn't realize the place was so small until the last picture. That suddenly made it so much more interesting! You should move that image up and make it the opener.
