Markers

I think that these will be the last photos that I post from Pioneer Square cemetary.

There is something so poignant to me in the first photo. Just a simple work 'Baby' on the marker. Nothing else. I was glad to see that someone had planted a flower in the site, almost so as not to forget the unknown baby.

And this one has a bit more info about the person. But it is very hard to make it out. 'Little' "Died' and a few numbers.

Today I was downtown, well the outskirts anyways, and walked through Pioneer Park. This is the oldest cemetary in town for the early British immigrants. I was a bit shocked by the state of disrepair that many of the monuments are in today.

I took a fair amount of photos and will be posting them over the next few days.

This is the top of a monument. I couldn't make out any of the writing to tell you much about it. I was attracted to the cherub angel faces that are carved into it.
