Where my parents are buried in a huge cemetery in a Denver suburb the graves are marked with flat plates, no grand gravesstones in that part of the cemetery. And now with cremation so popular how will those stories be told? Here as we drive about the on the old prairie, we see small abandoned cemeteries, representing the lives lost in the settling of the great frontier. To see Revolutionary War veterans' graves must be very special. These last 3 posts of your have been a treat to see a part of the country that I may never visit. annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-3736783805586668552014-10-17T16:48:01.954-04:002014-10-17T16:48:01.954-04:00Nice photos.

He'd pay us for every new relative we found but he had usually found them all before. :-) Was fun though and helped develop a love for old cemeteries. Have a nice weekend!podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.com
