This pioneer cemetery is near Richmound, Saskatchewan.
A friend refers to these wood-and-wire fenced graves as "cradles to Heaven."
It is just a little east of the Alberta/Saskatchewan border in a community formerly known as Horsham, now a ghost town. There was a church at this site but it is now long gone.
This is spring at the country cemetery . . . green, lush and Heaven-bound.

Why Surprise? Was that the name of the church? Odd name for a church, if it was.
ReplyDelete"Surprise" was a settlement but all that came of it was a school, post office, church and cemetery. The cemetery is all that remains.
DeleteMaybe folks were surprised when they ended up there.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, I know someone who comes from Horsham.
ReplyDeleteNot a surprise that these are great photos. Also I am missing green scenery! Everything this weekend was brown.
