View looking northwest up at the grove of Cedar & Hardwood trees in the
center of the photo where the Old Bear Creek Cemetery is located. I believe the
slight sink in the ground indicates possibly an old road bed that led up to the
cemetery. There is an old barn on our right next to the road. There is a chain
link fence around the cemetery but much of it is mashed to the ground by
livestock and fallen trees.
This view was taken standing at the gate up to the cemetery. We are looking southwest at one of the farms in the neighborhood. Bear Creek Road is on our left.
Standing at the top of the hill on the western edge of the cemetery near the fence yields this image. The stones do not stand out since they blend with the surrounding brush and are brown to gray in color.
