There's an old cemetary near mom and dad's house, on a gravel road on which we found a TREASURE TROVE of wild plums last year (for jellymaking...see "Jelly Man" entry...September 3rd, 2008 for details...). Most of the tombstones date back to the mid-1800's. Many of them are hard to read, as time has worn away the information carved on them.
I wonder about the people buried there...were they related? How did they die? How old were they? Why that particular spot for a cemetary? So many questions that will have more and more elusive answers as time continues to wear away at the words written to document these people's existence...
