Thank you! I agree, there is so much history in the cemeteries. I always want to get to know a bit more about the people who are there. The farmers buried at this one, would not have had an easy life. Due to their crops getting flooded out too often.
I use to live nearby and certain areas of farm fields still get flooded out.
Cemeteries are always fascinating, especially the older ones. Makes me wonder what their lives were like, so long ago.

I always wonder the same. I was hoping to find out more details about this one but I think we were lucky to get what we did. Life could not have been easy on the early settlers.

i've recently was fascinated to know about the jewish 'matzevah's -- old tradition of decorating the entombments.
for example, you may read about it here

a huuuuge, extensive article about symbolic of tombs decoration
not sure if you wanna read it using a google-translator... unless you dig very deep. but at least one can get the impression of how much there's out there...

yes! yes! are you in the know of the old jewish tradition, about the symbolism of entombments decorations? I'd be happy to provide you a few links, but they all in Russian, you 'd have to use google to read it... or google the same sources in English, if it will hook you.
eh?
