A cemetery quite hidden away just off a busy State Highway which may be missed for it's severely overgrown. A short unpaved road which is soft with deep ruts lead the way through a dilapidated chain link fence that makes it only passible with a four wheel drive vehicle.

 

 

Many headstones are completely engulfed or hidden amidst heavy entangled Thickets and Multiflora Rose which makes it virtually impossible to get to. The dense and sharp thorns of the Multiflora Rose will capture you like a Spider to her Web and rip you to shreds as you attempt to escape.

 

 

 

 

There are only a few families that lay to rest here which sadly are completely neglected. There isn't a Caretaker nor anyone who maintains this small portion of God's Acre that remains in the hands of Mother Nature to completely over run the cemetery and swallow it up.

Crocus pops through the dead leaves to say "Hello!"

Like the Crocus, two Mother Mary heads poke their way out of the decayed leaves
