A few week ago Megan and I made (yes) another trip to a cemetery. This one was located in Magnolia, MS. It is call the Confederate Cemetery. It was a beautiful day and we found some interesting grave marker. We walked around for about an hour looking at the different graves.
The confederate soldiers had a section to themselves. A lot of them had no names on them. That section had a low concrete wall around it. It was shaded by some oak trees. It was sad to me that some of the graves had no names knowing that it was someone love one.
The cemetery was divided by a fence. The white graves were on one side and the black on the other side. I found it interesting that some of the black graves had the coffins only half buried in the ground.
I took a picture of a little bear marker on a small child's grave and I found a chair with a pillow on another grave. I love going through cemetery and reading the inscriptions on the graves and seeing the different markers.
