Tucked away pioneer cemetery , near that abandoned versa care home. Busy people zip by, totally oblivious to this important piece of real estate.

Have visited there twice this month, I noticed one of the tombstones had a old jacket on it - was it placed randomly, or was that tombstone chosen in particular? Tough to know as the person buried there died in 1917. There's also an old tree by the fence that appears to have a huge lightening strike scar down the middle.

Thanks Natashadiane, added link. Yes most of these pioneer cemeteries are in great locations and cloudy days or sunsets, enhance them, for me.

Here is some of the info on their family. I went for a visit yesterday to go take a look at it for a photo shoot location. Its very interesting there. The broken head stone is still against the tree. http://jamescobban.net/FamilyTree/Web/I@I23921@.html

made a run out there yesterday and got some great shots, worth a run out just to see the age of some of the gravestones
