Photographs of Lost Cemeteries Pt.3 (4 photos)

Murrie Cemetery found. I'm rather positive that if it wasn't for the kindness of my significant other, I would not have. Early last week, she decided I needed a GPS locator. So she went on eBay and found a Magellan GPS 2000. Why she thought I needed one of those and not just a simple compass is beyond me, I'm more than sure she will chalk it up to, "cause I thought it would be easier for you to use..." and granted she is probably right, I suck with compasses. Nevertheless though I went out there again today armed with two cameras, a GPS locator and the sun blazing down on the lands face. I actually stumbled across it my accident in a way. I was following the way the gps locater was telling me to go and I came onto some land that has a massive field of Indian Paint Brushes, apprently I had walked by the area it was located in a few time, damn me for not bringing my glasses along as well. Either way as I made my way back I had two dogs follow me, good dogs; I decided to go down a hill and into a clear, I was talking to the remaining dog at the time. so I basically said, why don't we try over here, and I walk right onto the spot. So thanks puppy. Now to get to the photos section of this with brief explination as to what the photos are of.

_{This shows the grave stone as it is encircled by I assume Poison Ivy. The seperation in the middle of the stone is not apparently in this photo. But the shade afforded by the many large trees surrounding the grave are.}

_{In this photo you can clearly see the headstone and that of the foot marker. John Murrie was a tall man, at least to me.}

_{Within this photo, the seperation of the two halves of the stone are rather apparent, the metal work use to place them back together is only dimly visiable. On examining the back of the stone I gathered it was cut in St. Louis, as for the cutters, I could not make out the name.}

_{This shot is to show the metal work put in place to hold the headstone together. Pretty crafty.}

All in all this has been a rather fun grave hunt. The man that I mentioned in the previous post was David Horton. I dont honestly need him to show me the grave any longer, as for landmarks to find it...
Take a right when you see a green deer blind, walk to a spray painted fence post. Look to your left, locate another spray painted fence post, this one will have a board screwed to it, walk to that post, turn to your left and you will spot the grave very clearly. Thanks David, you helped a bunch. Maybe for the story of the man, but in the actual location of the site... not so much. Now comes the part where I select another cemetery to try and locate. I'm sure I will return to this one very often if I have the money to put in for petrol. Hell might even clean it up a bit.
Thats all for now.
I would like to thank Jessica for affording me the use of a GPS locator and putting so much hard work behind me, even after coming home from a very long day at work herself. Love you babygirl.
