Another Cemetery

No, I am not obsessed with cemeteries, although if you are a regular follower, you may think so. Usually, if we do stop at one, it has a very interesting story behind it OR a history worthy of sharing. Both apply to the Roosevelt Cemetery near the more well-known community of Globe. 

The settlement of Roosevelt no longer exits.

Path lined with rocks

Most of the grave sites looked like this

A white wooden cross at the end of a pile of rocks

No names, no dates

A rare headstone, but unreadable

A rather fancy headstone

Only 35 years old

William Dillon from England

Headstone of a stone cutter on the Roosevelt Dam crew

John Loser, stone cutter, of Germany

Headstone erected by his fellow workmen

A few wooden headstones

Father & Son?

Only 13

Did he also work at the dam?

Desert flora overtaking parts of the cemetery

The rest of the story...
