Not climbing over the gate......

 
Unless I climb over the gate, this is it for the little cemetery that is hidden down a lane with a cable wire across it.

Inside the Cemetery

 This is what it looks like in the cemetery....if you hang over the gate and point and shoot. I wasn't ready to climb the fence.

A different view....

 This is the way to the cemetery. On either side of this walkway are the backyards of 2 houses. It is not easy to get to what with the cable wire across the entrance....notice it is just wide enough for a car(hearse) to fit.

An Inverness Cemetery

 

Ok....my town doesn't have much but we do have a cemetery....and this one happens to be near a subdivision.

This cemetery was established around 1838 on the Cady family farm. It was deeded to Palatine Township in approximately 1856 by the Cady family. It is located behind what was once the Cady farm orchard.
It is privately owned and I am not sure when the first and last person was buried here but somewhere in the mid 1800's. It is accessible if you have a key or want to crawl over the gate or go through the bushes in the back....looks kinda sad now.

A jewelry store

 This is the front of the building (a jewelry store) with the glass.....you can almost see the pay phone on the side of the building! It looks like an angled street but it really isn't....that would be me not pointing and shooting straight!

Glass and more glass

 

This is across the street from this--once you cross the train tracks that is....This just caught my eye with the glass and the guy using the phone.

Lady Neva Day Lily

 




















My neighbor is an avid gardener. Last year, she found on line a day lily named "Lady Neva". She couldn't resist getting it for me(after all..it IS my name!) and here is the result.....and interestingly....it truly only stays in bloom one day....not like my fire engine red day lilies or my Stella Dora's. Go figure that the name actually means a "day"!
