I have been visiting them fairly frequently now for over fifty years and still find them so.<br /><br />I've looked for records but so far haven't found anything. The GRHS may have some information in their archives.Michael Trumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490660648096085115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458995441204559691.post-80672844948796378372018-06-17T19:00:46.346-06:002018-06-17T19:00:46.346-06:00The indentations of the graves are barely noticeab...The indentations of the graves are barely noticeable after all this time.

If and when these graves are marked it's usually with a metal cross.<br /><br />I'm with you on the granite markers though...it seems to last forever. There are some beautiful marble markers in the general area that are over one hundred years old and are looking fine as well.Michael Trumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490660648096085115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458995441204559691.post-76732386206531698632018-06-14T06:34:56.447-06:002018-06-14T06:34:56.447-06:00How sad there are no markers to indicate who passe...How sad there are no markers to indicate who passed there. Do you know, are there records anywhere? Gorgeous pictures. I haven't visited cemeteries in a good long while, but was a habit for a good number of years, I would photograph and document stones. Cemeteries are such peaceful places to visit.Sandyhttps://4ccccs.blogspot.com/2018/06/still-knitting-watching-cranford.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458995441204559691.post-43257875678022798112018-06-13T11:16:44.669-06:002018-06-13T11:16:44.669-06:00Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458995441204559691.post-36562094075710604542018-06-13T08:56:02.336-06:002018-06-13T08:56:02.336-06:00They need some stone markers, and not a soft stone...They need some stone markers, and not a soft stone either - gotta be granite! It would have to stand up to the wind and snow. If I was to be planted there, I'd make mine like an old Viking runestone, in the younger futhark, with English translation. <br /><br />And that grass! Beautiful and lush! I love it.c w swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02735507642689652780noreply@blogger.com
