Checking Out the Old Ehrenberg Cemetery

We've noticed the old cemetery just across the road from the entrance to River Oasis RV Park every time we've driven by. So today we decided to walk over there and take a look. It looks like other very old, no longer used cemeteries in this part of the world. From what we were told, it was pretty much abandoned and forgotten for a long time. The local community cleaned it up a few years back and put up some signage.

The rock pillar in the middle is topped by a rock with petroglyphs. It was erected by the Arizona Highway Department in 1939 --

The graves are marked only by mounds of rocks --

An occasional cacti grows among rocks; any name markers have long ago disappeared --

No one here at the RV Park seems to know anything about the cemetery other then "it's always been there." If you look on the Internet, there is a reference in "Ghosthunters" about the ghost of a little girl in pioneer garb "often seen flitting back and forth by the gate."
