A cemetery established 1773! I'm just a bit envious. Colonial cemeteries are hard to come by in my area. BTW, I might pass along your instructions about the aged woman bit to my loved ones, too.
ReplyDeleteHard to come by here as well. This was a vacation side visit. I'm more accustomed to 1825 being an old gravestone here in central Ohio!
