Judging by the hat emblems, this picture is post-Civil War by about 25 years. By then faster shutter speeds were the norm, especially when shooting outdoors.

Actually, the "organization" that ran the place absconded with the trust money years ago - this really does not have anything to do with the current financial mess. The cemetery has been effectively abandoned for a long time, and has been taken care of by people (mainly one old guy) volunteering to do the maintenance. The water was finally shut off to most of the area and it has turned into a dust bowl. The legal matters are finally being sorted out, but speaking from experience with this very cemetery, if you want to remove your loved one to a better location, you cannot, and you cannot have anyone buried in the four empty plots you own since all the records went missing. Anyone want to buy some very cheap Imperial Valley land?
