View looks southwest back up the hill. We are standing on the north middle side of the cemetery.

This view was taken standing looking east to south near the gate. The weeds obscure the view. The more open areas have much taller and thicker weeds.

We are looking southwest at the Moore family memorials. The broken memorial we see in the middle right of the photo is that for John Kirkland. When I first found it the stone was lying flat on the ground. It was like a soft sponge and full of water. It is very soft & fragile and probably will not last much longer before it crumbles as it will come apart in layers at first.
