A colleague owns an old cemetary here. Burials from roughly 1890's to 1920's. Walked through, and didn't recognize a single family name! And I've been around here forever. He said there are two folks who show up every Memorial Day, out of probably 200 graves.

To his credit, he does maintain the cemetary well- apparently for the benefit of only two descendants.
