There is an old cemetery on our farm dating back to 1854 9at least that is one of the tombstones). There are about 4 that are there and from what my dad tells me about 3 were once removed by some a##hole trespasser, anyway the ones that are still there are all within a few years of each other. It appeared as if some disease or virus came through and wiped out most of the family.
Jdawg and I used to kind of avoid that area of the woods for the most part, i don't know why but it was fun on hayrides at night when we'd be telling people about them and then my uncle would be hiding in the woods and jump out at people.

I've got a whole list..I help with the library for geneology stuff..htere are so many around here..little ones tucked back into corners here and there...
I am always so fascinated..and when I seee a batch during th esame time period..I always have to start searching around to see what the epidemic was that killed them too..
Bam you did big with those!!!

B had an older brother that was stillborn and was buried there since since dad was from the ava area........that's the only reason I was there..otherwise I would have had no clue....

Duh..just slap me Bam....I drive past that everytime I go to Carbondale, Marion...anywhere...south..duh...I kept thinking it was one closer to you...oh phooey...:)
The highway shot should have clued me in more than anything...Phooey..blame it on my pea brain..

G, don't feel bad. There is an Evergreen Cemetery just east of Makanda.

My eyesight ain't what it was when I was your age youngun.

DD has an advantage....it's kinda his job......lol......

I don't know about that BAM. I don't go hanging out in cemetaries like some folks I know. I just go if someone I knew is there.

Okay - I am ghoul....or a witch..or just some crazy lady...LOL:D :D

WE still luv ya though......sure you been called worst before right......lmao...:D :D

Ghoul and witch both seem kinda harsh. How about just having a fascination with the afterlife?

Naw life, really she likes there before life.......I mean before the afterlife.....lol.....like while they were still alive and what wiped em out......I think......IDK LIFE!

That certainly doesn't sound ghoulish, does it?
