West Sweden Cemetery
Don’t get confused by the foliage – the West Sweden Cemetery is actually located in McCullogh County, Texas, near the town of Brady.
It’s sort of a sad ending for Sr. Nandin. The cemetery registry lists his name as “Joaquin Nandin Fallecio”, even though “fallecio” means “died.” Either way, he was 55 when he passed away in 1929, and he was, as the marker says, remembered by his children.

Thanks so much, Toad. This shot resided in the archives for a few years before I noticed it. Now I can’t think why I’d overlooked it for so long!
