Great photo ... albeit of a melancholy subject.Walking around an old cemetery does give one pause. Lots of people didn't live to see their first birthday. And lots of women died in their late teens / early twenties -- childbirth used to be a dangerous business, for sure.In many ways, these are the "good old days."
