Cemetery Photo's

Barkman Cemetery is a small grave yard located inside of Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge, in Indiana.
My Husband and I walked along the 1/5 of a mile grassy path to reach the cemetery. We happened upon a huge spider web on the ground and we wondered if it had fallen from a tree.
The cemetery is small and surrounded by an iron fence. It was obvious, they didn't want you to get any closer so we respected the bounty. I wish I had of photographed the fence but above are all the photographs I took of our little journey.
I have found very little history about the graveyard, other than the people buried there were early farmers who attempted to raise crops in flood-prone area.

A lovely tree lined walk to the cemetery , there is something amazing in the history of these very old cemeteries- even though the headstones might be worn and weathered it’s special that people from a long time past are still remembered.
I’m still working this out, so it might not work I’m not sure what the cool down period is. Will try anyway @tipu curate and if my bot is still working !COFFEEA 15

Thank's!!
Thank you! I agree, there is so much history in the cemeteries. I always want to get to know a bit more about the people who are there. The farmers buried at this one, would not have had an easy life. Due to their crops getting flooded out too often.
I use to live nearby and certain areas of farm fields still get flooded out.
Cemeteries are always fascinating, especially the older ones. Makes me wonder what their lives were like, so long ago.
I always wonder the same. I was hoping to find out more details about this one but I think we were lucky to get what we did. Life could not have been easy on the early settlers.

i've recently was fascinated to know about the jewish 'matzevah's -- old tradition of decorating the entombments.
for example, you may read about it here

and i found a few excellent stories in Russian,

and a hard nut even for me to read:
https://www.diary.ru/~Grabschonheiten/p42612918.htm?oam
a huuuuge, extensive article about symbolic of tombs decoration
not sure if you wanna read it using a google-translator... unless you dig very deep. but at least one can get the impression of how much there's out there...
Thanks for the links! I will bookmark this to get back to it when real life slows down!
same with me. maybe one day I will make a post or two about it. very intresting educational stuff!
yes! yes! are you in the know of the old jewish tradition, about the symbolism of entombments decorations? I'd be happy to provide you a few links, but they all in Russian, you 'd have to use google to read it... or google the same sources in English, if it will hook you.
eh?
Thank, I can look up some information on the subject in English. :D
Old cemeteries intrigue me.
They do me as well.

Sure, the decorations and meaning of them would be interesting...
What cool shots of this little cemetry and I to would have respected the privacy of the site and not gone in
Thanks Jay! I would have loved to get a little closer. Maybe the next graveyard will allow it.
I can understand that but like you said its important to respect peoples privacy
There’s a lot of history in cemeteries. It’s too bad you weren’t allowed to go inside the fence but you got some nice shots.
I would have loved to get closer to some of those stones, thanks!
hmmm. telephoto lens could be very helpful :P
I don't have that type of camera.
Oh! Wonderful cemetery photos! I love those little hidden local graveyards. Thanks for taking photos of this one for us! Resteemed
Thanks, I love finding these hidden ones too.
Small cemeteries like that are so interesting and they usually have a family story to tell that covers generations. Nice to see the old-style stones.
I love the old stones too and always wonder about the people who are buried there.
