This young man seems to have lost his head at some point in the past but a good Samaritan re-attached it. Nevertheless, he is dressed in what seems to me to be clothing of another era even older than the provenance of this cemetery.
Here, there are some markers that have a much more modern look. This one is lacking the usual late Victorian symbols suggesting it is more recent.
Thomas Hodge, below, is one of many from Cornwall who came here to find their fortune. Thomas, unfortunately, seems to have found his destiny instead.
And John Bowden, below, appears to still have family living in the area to decorate his memorial.
