Cemeteries of our trips......
There is something about cemeteries that fascinate us and we try to visit old cemeteries during our travels. We always go to see our passed family when we go to Ephriam and visit with them during our stay there. It is a calm and peaceful place to go and just let memories fill our heart. If you listen carefully you can even hear their voices talking to you and you can feel their spirits while there.
Our latest cemetery was in Green River, Utah and did it ever turn out to be a treat. One of the first graves that we found was of the parents to LaRae Fullmer from Monticello where I grew up, next we came to the grave of an unknown person, but was fascinated by it's uniqueness (third picture). Just a simple headstone made of wood and weathered by the sun and wind, surrounded by a wire fence. No glitz or glamour displayed at all.
There were family plots all cemented over to keep out the weeds and thistles that are so previlent in the area to a grave of a young man that was like a shrine to him.
Simplicity and beauty can be found in the back areas of America for those that are looking in the right directions.
