I've got lots of pictures, but don't want to bore you. However, if someone is looking for a photo of their ancestor, I want them to be able to find it, and keep their own copy. So sometimes I'll be posting them here, and sometimes over at
"When I Was 69, my Personal Archives."

The biggest cemetery in Black Mountain seems to be a combination of many, all under the names of Moutain View or Black Mountain Cemetery. It's all over a huge hill, with definitely gorgeous views of the mountains.
My friend and I could only record a miniscule amount of the older headstones. Our goal for this trip was to find the oldest burial we could in the few hours we had available.

I have a few other old headstones to share, but I don't want to have too many in one post. I find I can browse through 10 at most, what do you think? (Yep, I've done too many already here.)
Beautiful setting for a cemetery - I LOVE the Angel!! Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks...especially for the virtual hugs. Back to you too!
DeleteI am also drawn to cemeteries. The older the better.
ReplyDeleteThe weather is great right now for (me/us) who no longer do hikes through the mountains, to stroll around the headstones! I once lived in a house that backed onto a cemetery...great neighbors!
DeleteI love the name Benjamin Fortune and I love looking at old gravestones.
