Up the hill and in the wooded region not far from my house is an old
cemetery.  Almost completely occluded it is now.  Some relatives of my
parents are buried there.  It is full of snakes and other creatures.  Very
interesting to walk through it though it can be quite eerie too.  Many
stones tell the story of the flu epidemic back in the early part of the
century and there are very many babies buried there.  One group has five
siblings, all under the age of 5, planted there.  The grief that it must
have caused the parents.  The most interesting stone, and there are many, is
one that reads "killed by unknown parties."  This was a young man that was
hanged on the higher hill not far from the cemetery.  Rarely go there these
days but can understand the attraction.
