Franklin Cemetery
The Franklin Cemetery is about a quarter mile (0.4km) due north of the remains of the stone house. Although I don't know much about the cemetery, it appears to have been neglected for many years. Someone has salvaged five of the headstones and enclosed them in a small fenced-in area about the size of a burial plot. Two of the headstones were of veterans, one was of a five-year old boy that died in 1865, and the remaining stones were difficult to read. The fence and the flags are reasonably new.
There are several groups of depressions at regularly spaced intervals throughout the plot (some of these are visible on satellite images). The cemetery is on the crest of a hill and is surrounded by office development. I purposely framed the picture like this to keep all such buildings out of the image.
