Thank you so much. This also set off a wave of guilt in me that I never knew I had. I have never been a cemetery kind of person until now, respect for the dead yes. Just now, I see the importance of a headstone. So this little graveyard in the field where I hoed watermelons as a child kept creeping back up in my head.
Someone has to know about it.
No one has visited it in many years because it was virtually impossible to get to. We had watermelons all around it but the area where the graves were was covered in briars and brush. It took up a lot of his field. He always told me its respect for the dead. It was there for their family.
