re: Forgotten Graves

---

I stumbled upon a graveyard in the woods when I was a kid. The headstones were so old they were almost impossible to read.

I ran into the same thing while out hunting rabbits one day when I lived in Jackson, MS.

I had run across the Ross Barnet Reservoir to a heavily wooded area around Pelahatchie Bay I wanted to hunt and started walking through the woods only to stumble on an old graveyard that looked to be totally forgotten about. Tall weeds, scrub trees growing by the graves, headstones all covered in algae and damn near impossible to read.

To see all those graves, obviously forgotten to time was a bit eerie----and sad at the same time.
