Simon Kenton Cemetery

One of my first cemetery pictures.
Simon Kenton Cemetery, OH

I just love the way the dog is looking up at him with such reverance and loyalty.
Simon Kenton tombstone, the epitaph is amoung one of my favorites;


In Memory of Simon Kenton,
His Fellow Citizens of the West
Will Long Remember him as
The Skilled Pioneer of early times,
The Brave Solider and
The Honest Man

  1. I don't know, but cemeteries just scare me the hell out! They are always so quiet and silent! I can't be in places like this... I really admire you! It's better taking photographs of Viagra Online products or something not so creepy.

  2. Now reading "The Frontiersman" by Allan W. Eckert, which narrates the events of Simon Kenten's life. We love this image of him and will visit the cemetery next time we pass through Ohio.
