Retired old curmudgeon, sharing space with numerous cats, books, prints, broken furniture and other detritus of 19th and 20th century life.
I've always enjoyed the peace and serenity in old cemeteries. When I was small, my gg-grandmother, g-grandmother, grandmother & mother would pack a picnic lunch, usually on Easter sunday and the whole family would visit our ancestors in Forest Park cemetery. Afterwards I would feed stale bread to the ducks and we would eat lunch by the lake in the middle of the cemetery, under the spreading branches of the old oak trees.
I discovered some old photos while going through a recently-deceased relative's possessions. Among the collection were several photos of five generations of my ancestors, seventy years ago, dressed in their Sunday finery, with my gg-grandmother holding me in her lap, the first-born of the next generation, with the cemetery lake in the background. What a find!

Dan, would you like Laddy Joe's memorial to go along with Myrtle's? I'd be happy to transfer it to you. I thought I should take a photo of his since it was next to Myrtle's, and put it up as I was filling your requests.
Best wishes,

I never thought to say I would be happy to transfer these to you. just let me know. The monuments face east so its difficult to get a good picture, I will go by and at least get a pic of the stone even if the reading cannot be read,.Added by at on Jan 09, 2012 6:38 PM | | | at
| RE: Robert. E. Puryear

I have connected him to his parents. I uncovered the above ground monument last year, it was covered with vines, brush, logs etc. Only a few people knew it was there. I dont know if any relatives live here to now, no one puts flowers on it. It looks like the above ground stone was added after he was buried, the original headstone is imbedded in the laid stonework.Added by at on Jan 08, 2012 3:08 PM | | | Anna
