There were once pine trees framing this entire family plot...all but 2 have been cut down. Dates on the stones run from 1800s to 1920s except one with a date in 1990s. Stones that I can make out generally have the name of Lewis.
The Highway Dept recently uncovered this "lost" cemetary while preparing some land to use for a gravel site. Respectfully, they have marked off the plot, taken out the overgrowth, and even finished it with some gravel. Most of the graves have the names Owens on them and date from the late 1700s and 1800s. Some are so old the writing is no longer legible.

The writing on the consorts grave stoicly proclaimes that "here lie the remains" and the word consort is plainly visible. What is unusual is that the more ornate grave has a mariners them and religious symbols such as a cross are noticeably absent. The wrought iren posts have somewhat of a cross but given the lack of markings on the tombstones I'm thinking that this was not purposely ordered but rather what was readily available at the time. This is a very peculiar place and it has been calling me for some time to come capture the imagery of this place.
