Fairbank

Visited the ghost town of Fairbank yesterday.  Not much remains of a town that was there because of the silver mining in nearby Tombstone.  The railroad came through and later Highway 82 that prolonged the death of the town until 1972.  Today there are only a few buildings left.

A short walk down the trail and a climb up a small hill ended at the cemetery.  

A dozen or so deserted graves.

The resting place of Matie Nelson.  Long time dead.  Long time forgotten.
