| “New Zebedee’s beautiful old cemetery was on a high hill just out of town. It was full of elaborate gravestones that showed weeping women leaning on urns and Cupids extinguishing torches. There were pillars made to look as if they had been broken and pillars with hands on top, pointing up. Lewis and Tarby picked out a mausoleum stuck into the side of the hill the graveyard was built on.”
“The cemetery stood atop a high, flat-topped ridge that rose just on the other side of Wilder Creek [note: Rice Creek]. You had to walk half a mile beyond the city limits and cross the creek to get to the road that ran up the ridge.” |
