Head Stone in Central City cemetery

[tamrock]

My daughter was up walking around the cemetery in Central City, Colorado today and text me this photo. It's the resting place of many of hard rock miners of the late 19th early 20th century. I walked around it once and saw countless headstones of the Cornish miners stating the their birth place being that of Devon and Cornwall.

Nice.
They were famous here too for their mining skills. Especially on the Castlemaine Fryerstown fields where I used to detect a lot.
