Owens Cemetery

One large monument is fallen facedown where it cannot be read.

There are several large natural stones, which I believe mark graves.  One even has a smaller stone where a footstone would go.

Several stones are broken off the bases, and the stones themselves seem to have been thrown away somewhere.

There is a lot of trash scattered at the entrance to the cemetery, as well as the locals using the valley behind the cemetery as a dump... among the debris I saw shingles, siding, a hot water heater, and even a toilet!
