Miller Creek Cemetery

Eyes can't help but shift from one tombstone marked "unknown" to the next as intense heat is kept from gravesites by a thick surrounding of trees. History takes shape in a family of markers, one with a three-day-old's name on it - her mother's name and day of death close in time. A plaque telling of one woman's terrifying death from a scalping by Indians adds a mysterious atmosphere.
