Wide Wednesday . . . Straight

This is looking straight down a line of graves in the Richmond Cemetery.  I was in the older area and the graves were from the 1890's.  On the right hand side are four graves within an iron fence all with the surname Wilkes.  In the summer I buy strawberries from a stall in Wilkes St and a simple Google search provided a link.  William Wilkes was mayor of Richmond 1917-1923.  He founded a building company that built many of the major buildings in Richmond and at one time built an average of a house a week. However, it all began in a much smaller way – with coffins. In 1890, William Wilkes established an undertaking business at his home.  
Our first overcast day for sometime.  Thanks to Bob for keeping it wide on Wednesdays.

Died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came

Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?
