As some of you may know, I am into cemeteries also. I
have done some restoration work in the past, but was
held back this year by major surgery. I hope to be
back with a vengence next year.
Anyway, it was my turn to do the display case at work
this month, so I did one on cemeteries. You can see
pictures at:

Also, I recently added Mt. Carmel Cemetery / aka.
Twelve Mile United Brethren Cemetery to the Cass
County INGenWeb site. It is complete with photos of
the markers. See:

You should see the cemeteries here in the Rio Grande

interesting. Some have fences around and gates, lots
of angels. At a
certain time everyone comes and cleans graves up and
cover with flowers.
Very Pretty.
There is a very modern cemetery-Mt Meta down the
road from me. I
understand the new section is for tiered graves.
First dead on the
bottom, next one on top. That's how they bury in
Mexico, casket on
ground, then a kind of wooden ledge all around with
another casket, etc.
resting on it. Some parts, I haven't seen it here
around San Benito, but
they decorate the cemetery fences with pretty
ribbons and bows. These are
Mexican traditions. I have read about them in the
newspaper but not
recently.
As you can tell I like cemeteries. My aunt and uncle
lived across from
Mt. Hope in Logansport IN. I lived with them during
summer and all
holidays. We walked and looked, drove through it
many many times but
NEVER played in it. My husband, daughter, and I
visited every historical
cemetery we could during our camping vacations.
