Cemetery Fence


The Old North Church Cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries here in Nacogdoches County, Texas.  It has many graves and/or family plots that are surrounded by beautiful weathered iron fences, but this is one of the more ornate ones.

Really beautiful iron fence!

Oh, I wish I'd realized there was a neat old Depot in Winslow. We could have checked it out. I'm sorry you didn't get to see the "corner." That was a stroke of bad luck!

So beautiful. And this person lived to be almost 83 years old. Quite an accomplishment for the times. Happy Friday!

I love those old fences. I wish they were still as prevalent today.

Cool shots. A weird thought came to my brain as I looked at that fence. What if that were like a head board for a bed? Strange...but kinda cool looking.
