I checked the first picture out, I believe it is another grave in the distance. A lot of the graves in this cemetry are marked with very elaborate stones.

And the last picture is near a childs grave. A sad thing is, I do have a photo which unfortunately turned out a bit fuzzy compared to the rest but it was of a group of children all from the same family, must of been about 6 of them, and not one of them lived past the age of 2 years old. You do see a lot of distressing things like that at this cemetry, and I know its kinda wrong for me to say but if anyone is in the area, this cemetry is really worht a visit, it is so huge it takes a good while to get around and look at a percentage of the stones, and the stories they have to tell are amazing.

Yea, I've read many stories of graves, alot sad, mainly the older stones tell stories, Todays just have dates, some just the year...Sad that information like that is lost to save space and money...
