...and heartache. This headstone sits in the cemetery for Sunshine, Colorado, a nearly abandoned old mining town that was once home to up to 1000 people. It sits at about 7,200 feet, nestled in the mountains above Boulder with sweeping views of the Plains off in the distance. It wasn't an easy place to live in the late 1800s/early 1900s, as the preponderance of childrens' tombstones in the cemetery attest. Here lies William John Morgan, who died in 1899 at the age of 7, and Edward Pugh Morgan, who died in 1901 at the age of 2. The lamb on top represents innocence, while the ivy along the sides symbolizes friendship and immortality.
