These are photos taken at the Linton Cemetery in Washington County, Kentucky,  in 2003.  At this time the property was owned by Reed Spalding.  He carefully tended the cemetery as you can see from the photos.  When he sold the property the new owners let it grow into bushes and weeds.  We visit once or twice a year, but not often enough to keep it in pristine shape like Mr. Spalding.  I am thrilled we were able to get such good photos at that time.

As you can see the fence and gate can easily be seen.  The last time we were at the cemetery there were indentions in the grass where a deer spent the night.

Captain John’s stone was much easier to read.

Using shaving cream to make the lettering on the stones easier to read – just wash off afterwards!
