This was a sad cemetery – almost all the markers were broken or leaning.

And across the pasture, the people in a mobile home were having a loud argument. It was so loud that maybe the sound waves of a earlier argument had knocked over the stones.

(It’s the same place as this.)

Check this out – this same urn is on the cemetery’s website website. Turns out it’s beside the marker of “Legendary ‘Old West’ stock detective Tom Horn,” a fact I missed until just now.
