Lakeville Cemeteries

At last count, Lakeville has 28 cemeteries. 

My friend D. and I have started to try to get photos of as many as we can. Here are some shots from our first field trip. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge...

Strobridge cemetery in Lakeville, MA
Strobridge cemetery in Lakeville, MA

Most of the stones are far in the back amid the trees. Mainly old stones. With so much "empty" space I wonder why there aren't any newer additions?

This cemetery used to be within inches of the road. The stones were moved behind the stone wall when a housing development was built there. In disrepair for quite a while, it looks like someone has stood up the stones again and put up the sign.
