bula cemetery

Although some may think it morbid, my favorite places to visit are cemeteries. Of all those I have seen, the Bula Cemetery is the saddest. Generally, out here on the plains, one can locate a cemetery from afar by sighting the "cemetery trees" (evergreens) which are often planted there. The Bula Cemetery has no trees and there are no headstones on individual gravesites. Instead, only a marker lists those who are buried there. A bench offers a resting place to ponder the history of this forlorn graveyard. Saddest of all are Billy and Bernie, the one year old twins, buried alone with no family.
