Really great photos, Deb! A lot of the pioneer cemeteries were built on high ground, so I knew it was to prevent flooding but I like that it put their loved ones closer to God. It is too bad that the names can't be read on some of the stones now. There must be a record somewhere of who is buried in those plots...
There could be on this particular one because the area had importance prior to it being a state park. I think it was due to a mill.
