84: Remembrances -- Old Cemetery

In yesterdays post I neglected a lot of folks affected on 911. This was because of our natural attraction to recognize with those we share likenesses with. So today my intent was to honor those forgotten by the masses.

Several years ago while working on my ongoing cemetery location project, I located an old overgrown slave cemetery with only one marker I could find. So I grabbed a couple of red roses from the courthouse and headed out to photograph this lonely field stone marker in this long forgotten cemetery.

When I arrived I was shocked, someone over the past couple of years has carefully been clearing the old cemetery and uncovered many stones in process. There are nearly a hundred stones now visible, most unmarked. So I guess I am not the only one who felt the need to honor those forgotten my most.

Old But Not Forgotten
