These are the repaired and replacement graves in Runyon Cemetery, in Lockport, Will, Illinois (see my previous post). Unfortunately, it has been vandalized over the years, even inside the boundaries of the Will County Forest Preserve. The cemetery is well-protected by the living neighbors, who were keeping a watchful eye the day I entered the property. It is a place you would never know existed unless you were knowingly searching for it, which should help keep it preserved.
It is a lovely little spot, isn't it?
