There's another interesting cemetary in Cripple Creek, Colorado. I had just finished reading a history of the town, Cripple Creek Days, by a woman who had grown up there during the "Richest Gold Camp in the World" time. In the graveyard were all the people of the book, the bankers, saloon keepers (one had a great monument!)and the less successful and in some cases less savoury people like politiicans . It was strange. I almost felt as though I were meeting them.
