World War I
I was able to only take pictures, and enjoy the view in 3 directions.  In one view I even was able to see the Burnett Reservoir.  Many of the people who lived before it was flooded are buried here.   I share just those whose headstones speak of their service in the armed forces...and these are just the few that I noticed.  I didn't take the time to look at all the graves.
Gratitude for soldiering that may have peace as its goal.

      I've got a yen to visit more old cemeteries in the area. Next week a friend and I will be out with camera to see some older grave sites. There are Revolutionary War heroes in Waynesville, I've heard.

    Well, Denise, I kept trying to write this as "reply" but blogger only will let me write it as a new comment. Thanks so much for chatting every once in a while. I love your blog! More cemeteries will be coming, and it's great weather for strolling through them.

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
