ant attack!
A high price of being buried in South Florida... many many ants.
I wonder if they got into the box? |
 |
ants
This marker was covered in ant-sand too. |
 |
ants!
so, I cleaned it off, a little. |

Hidden Marker, #2
I found this one almost totally covered with sand. only the very clean white area on the lower right was showing, near another marker.
I love the typoed reversed S in rest. |

Handwritten Marker
I'm not sure if this is a replacement for a lost marker, or if the person buried was too poor to afford any other kind. |
 |
crack - 1
some of the markers have been weathered or broken pretty badly. |
 |
crack - 2
this was originally a standing stone, but is now laying atop the site. |
 |
crack - 3
I wonder what causes most of these to break? no freezing this far south. |
 |
crack 4
Skipper.
It's somehow worse when it's a child. |
 |
chipped
100 years from now, they'll probably have no idea what the date of death was. |
 |
broken plate
the ID plaque is almost completely off. I wonder if it'll be there, next time I visit? |
 |
broken headstone
No information on this stone at all. |
 |
twin cracks
a mother and father stone, both cracked in the middle, laying where they once stood. |
 |
slid
looks like someone leaned too hard on this one, and it slid to the right. |
 |
mess
I have no idea what happened here. High wind? Desecration? |
 |
rising
erosion of the soil is letting these markers sit freely atop the ground, rather than being planted. |
