Red. Mud. Dust.
I can vouch for red, and cemetery, and dust. I did not see any mud.

Outhouse
At the Red Mud Cemetery, there’s a covered pavilion with benches and tables. And, further up the hill, a pair of outhouses. Without getting into much detail, I’ll just say that this one was a three-holer.

The Hinsons are cowboys
The Hinsons have a large family plot; many of the headstones are engraved with images of people on horseback. And several graves are decorated with lariats that won’t be needed any more.

Only one day
Preston’s time on earth lasted just the one day. It was a Monday.

Some information is missing
For example, what WAS this place? And what did that sign used to say?
If it was near a county line, I’d think it had been a beer store, sited as close as possible to a dry county. But it was in the middle of the county, so that explanation doesn’t seem to make sense.
It was on a hill, though, and commanded a fine view of the county.
