You all know I always talk about visiting the cemetery when we go to Cripple Creek Colorado. For a reason I can not describe, we always walk through the cemetery and visit a lot of long forgotten graves, and then of course those that will never be forgotten.

During the Gold Rush she ruled the roost and many roosters! I first talked about her HERE, if you'd like to have a look at that information. No matter when you visit, there are always trinkets and things left for her.
Happy Vintage Thingie Thursday.....hope you enjoyed a look at some very vintage graves!!
How interesting a piece of Colorado history! I am always taking pictures of tombstones for genealogy purposes.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne, Thanks for hosting. Really like the graveyard tour. I truly Freddie stays right where he lies. Ginger :)
ReplyDeletelove those old cemeteries and gravestones. They really can get very interesting right? But it always just kills me to see the ones of small children and babies...so painful. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne, We are home from vacation and getting back to life in NC. My to do list is long after being gone for over a month.I am glad to be here today. I have missed you.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed taking a peek at the cripple Creek cemetery. The bit of history is interesting. I too like to read stone markers in a cemetery. A certain mystery and imagination is always in these places. We loved our visit out west and especially the chance to stay in your cabin.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs, Jeanne
this is an unusual share...but very interesting indeed!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteUmmm...creepy!!! Especially Freddy Kruger.
ReplyDeleteThis history one can find in an older cemetary!
ReplyDeleteSuzanne, we used to go to an old cemetery in Cedar Key Florida. It was a little town hidden away close to the coast. There were some VERY old markers, and some sad ones too, like lots of babies. These can be interesting places to visit.

No wonder you get in a depressed mood, with your head in an old cemetery all the time.
ReplyDeleteSpooky!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a heck of a view for a cemetery! I love walking through old ones, seeing the huge stones, reading the dates. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHmmm....very interesting. My interest is always piques by old cemeteries but I have yet to visit one.
ReplyDeleteNot too crazy about that F. Krueger pic as I scroll up and down but I do love and appreciate your Vintage Thingie Thursdays. I adore all the entries and have so much fun visiting them and getting all kinds of ideas. Thanks for hosting this :)
ReplyDeleteYou have hit a spot in my heart truly as I am a funeral directors assistant and I LOVE old cemeteries and stones. Fantastic postie!
ReplyDeleteI love visiting old cemetaries. So many stories. While on vacation at Renfro Valley KY - we stopped at a small cemetary on a hill. A stone listed 13 children in one family - all who died at birth or under 5 years old. So sad.
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated with old cemetaries and this one is great. Very interesting about the empty plot.I think more research is needed here.
