Dunkard Cemetery, Linn County, Iowa

Perspective shots in a cemetery can help the researcher remember relative positions of stones and the general location of stones within the entire cemetery itself.

Sometimes these broader shots can help the researcher realize that there were stones they forgot to photograph. When viewing this perspective shot of stones in the Dunkard Cemetery in Linn County, Iowa, I noticed there were stones with the last name of interest (Newman) that had not been photographed.

I probably should not admit to the mistake, but we all make them. I’m glad I have the perspective shot to tell me that I need to make a return trip.
