We saw old things tonight.


I just discovered a cemetery near our house, that I had been unaware of, so we drove over to have a look. Then we drove into Cedarburg to have a short walk, and maybe a drink.



After we saw the Lincoln, we went to a brew pub to have a brew (just one, and Cyn had it). The place is in the basement of an old mill. To get into the bar, you have to walk across a bridge over the millrace. The water pours out of what used to house the turbine that generated the power. Cyn has a bit of a phobia of dark pools of water, especially concrete ones. This is a fairly dank place, and we were there at dusk, so it was dark too. It's a ten-second exposure. It's kinda blurry, but I didn't want to scare Cyn, so it's behind the cut.

Click on the pic to see more. In the marble era, those narrow, square towers were common, or if you didn't have any money, a simple marble slab, like in the last pic.

When they started using granite, probably in the thirties, most of the stones looked like the three in the left in the seventh picture. Or maybe the Zuelsdorf stone. They came in various sizes. You can see some large granite stones in that first pic (one on the left, one on the right, and one just to the left of the tree). There's also this kind (http://www.kevcyn.net/galleries/galcem/gra-chi-0308-maude.jpg), which is smaller, and not uncommon.

And occasionally, we see the kind that is set into the ground. And the most common kind and size for recent graves (in my lifetime) is the kind in the grouping of three in that seventh pic.

See also: my website (http://www.kevcyn.net/galleries/galcem/galcemozke1.html) for more pics of graves from the turn of the century.
