These two cemeteries are side by side in Alpine, Texas. I meandered from one right into the other without knowing until I was gone that I had actually been in two cemeteries.
The Elm Grove Cemetery had a good variety of Woodmen of the World tombstones. But what I really liked about this cemetery were the plots fenced in with iron fencing. I just like the look I guess.
Holy Angels Cemetery is the more modest of the two and there is something even more sobering when standing in the cold looking at homemade crosses and tombstones next to cactus against the vast sky at sunset.
“Them also which sleep in Jesus, will God bring with him. 1 These. 4:14” & “Not for the dead in Christ we weep. Their sorrows now are o’er. The sea is calm, The tempest past on that eternal shore.”
