Dating back to the 1850's, this little cemetery is all that's left of the ghost town of Columbus.

How very sad, that the cemetery has outlasted the town, and all the descendants of those resting in it.

il y a des bouts d'histoire qui ne s'effacent pas et ce cimetière en est la preuve ! c'est très émouvant !

It is a strange feeling when only a place for the dead continues to exist.

Nice capture of the graveyard, but it's sad when there no one to look after it or the graves.

Una captura interesante del lugar. Efectivamente, de descanso y paz..También se podría hablar de abandono, pero elijo pensar que esos muertos están de verdad en un lugar sagrado.
Abrazo y bonito martes

Wonder if any of their relatives are left?

We have a small graveyard like this about two miles from us. They are graves that were moved to this location when our lake was built and the little town was flooded. The old town is completely under water but the graves were saved. Very nice and very interesting photo.

Y permanecerá porque sus ocupantes se resistirán a marcharse de allí. Todo tiene su belleza aunque solo sea por el entorno otoñal donde esta situado.
Un abrazo y cuidate.

It's a moving scene that touch me very much. History can not be erased, this is truly so.

J'aime beaucoup ce voyage, ces espaces, ces lieux abandonnés et toujours la mémoire vive sur les herbes sèches.

Wow, what an emotive image. I wonder what the most recent date is.

These old cemeteries sometimes contain fascinating stories, usually tragedies. Thank you, Bill for pointing out the spam comments on my blog. I can only hope the spammers go away.

With small graveyards I always wonder why did they choose to live in that location and what were they like.
