I was impressed with the quality of the construction of the walls and the gate, especially the foundations stones supporting the corners and the joins of the stones.

Sunday Morning @ Belcher Cemetery
Spent the morning at Belcher Cemetery. It's just a short walk up Anson Street from where I live--although it is a bit of an uphill climb.
Dorothy Wirth in her book on Franklin County cemeteries states the access is through a private drive you need permission for. But Nancy Porter scoffed at that: Just walk up Anson Street until you see a big white house on the left. Just past it on the right is a wooded area that's city property, and there's a path up to the Belcher Cemetery.
Willena and I spent a pleasant morning together, digital cameras in
hand. I did video surveys of the site as whole and each row of
headstones. Willena took many excellent still images of the stonework
and the surrounding woods--and of me doing the video surveys.
I was impressed with the quality of the construction of the walls and the gate, especially the foundations stones supporting the corners and the joins of the stones.
