Mt. Whitney Cemetery, Lone Pine, Inyo County, California
Some Cemetery Stones & Markers in the Mt. Whitney
Cemetery
Some
Cemetery Stones Created from Dolomite* Quarried from Local Quarries
Several of the cemetery stones located in the Mt. Whiney Cemetery
that I photographed below were constructed of locally quarried dolomite.
(These photographs were taken by Peggy
B. Perazzo in late September 2010.) (* In the old
geology books, the stone quarried near Lone Pine was referred to as “marble,” but
today the stone is only referred to as “dolomite” in the
Lone Pine area.)
