Some families lost all of their children way back then to illness or tragedies such as the house fire that claimed the lives of one couple's 8 children that my aunt had read about during her genealogy research. I can't imagine how they went on after that. Well, I didn't mean to end on a glum note! I enjoyed your post as always, Pat. Take care and happy fall to you!

Such interesting and peaceful places.<br />Nice shots.<br />Walter's grave marker is one of the most interesting I've seen in a while!<br />There's another interesting marker at the old cemetery in Beaufort NC. Its inscriptions says "Little Girl in Rum Keg". Apparently she died while on a sea voyage, and they put her in the rum keg & submerged her in the rum to keep her from decomposing en route to the mainland. I've been curious that someone went to such trouble but didn't have her name on the marker.<br />Thanks for sharing your shots at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/09/shake-those-tail-feathers.htmlNCSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617227847364562989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-35338514920290474472015-09-30T01:52:36.447-04:002015-09-30T01:52:36.447-04:00I agree with you about cemeteries.
