    The cemetery is near Minesota Mine. It's also near the Phoenician Altar Stone. Yes, those small individual cemeteries are family plots. You should also visit Eagle River cemetery, Eagle Harbor cemetery and Copper Harbor cemetery.

    So very interesting! A few years ago we stayed at Gogebic State Park. Our camping lot was next to a grave of two trappers. Also on a hill in the Straights State Park is a very old cemetery going back to the 1700’s. There’s a large family plot surrounded by an old wrought iron fence, by the name of Sayles. The largest I’ve ever seen. Thank you for sharing! I will keep this in mind next time we’re headed to the U.P.

    There's a Cemetery between Watson and Arnold on co.426 in the UP, the Forest Home Cemetery, with 2 hand-hewn sandstone gravestones off in one corner on their own, marked simply 'unknown'.

      @@yooperlanddiy8765 There must be a public record of the cemetery and its exact location but be mindful that while the road is paved its long and uneventful, and the sign is red and white, hand painted and relatively small, it's easy to miss in the cedars. The cemetery is still used by the locals. If you're up there and your hungry the 'Knotty Pine Bar' in Arnold Mi. may still have food but it's been a while since Ive been there. The bar has burned down and has been rebuilt since I was last there, but the old bar was full of nostalgia some of which may have survived to pique your curiosity. Have fun.

    One of the best is right next to the campgrounds in Saint Igneous. You used to be able to walk in from the campground but now you have to walk out onto the beach cause they put a fence up.

  • @jenmiller105

    The stones in box type form look like they are most likely the vault. They make a case to put the coffin in to help seal things up. Over time they start wearing out and they can cave-in or leak.
    The separate fencing could be to distinguish family plots, but lore says that it's to keep the living safe from those buried.
    I can't find anything about those poles and I've never seen anything like that. I visited quite a few Graves and that's definitely something foreign to me.

    • @yooperlanddiy8765
      @yooperlanddiy8765  Год назад

      That makes total sense to me now, but I am just as confused about the poles, the only thing I can see them fir was maybe if they were a tri pod for holding maybe a large cast iron pot, that maybe they planted flowers in.

    Typically, the gated ones do include families, but they were typically well to do and real important to the local town. They helped build it...or financed it, or something.

      Very few were readable, only the newer ones, I think next spring, I'll try the pencil and paper thing, see if it works, I don't like guessing either. I could only conclude that the litte ones were those of children 😞

    Very nice cemetery! I also watch a similar program in Ga . They recently showed where a headstone had fallen over . They got equipment and assistance to raise it. They placed a similar triangle of braces to lever the headstone properly and recement with mortar . It's probable that the braces were left until the cement cured .
