Note: Last year (2009,) the Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church stated it was established in 1884. There are a few headstones in the burial ground that I photographed that predate 1884. [See posting: Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church Cemetery, Rehoboth Beach, DE: II.]
Note: There are very few traditional headstones here (typical.) What really caught my attention was how disturbed the landscape is with burials. I tried to capture the rolling and dipping of the ground in these pictures. Due to these landscape similarities, I wonder if there are more unmarked burials outside the fence on the south side of the fenced cemetery plot.
