We have a beautiful old cemetery here that is very well taken care of by the city and citizens that have family there. Every May there is an event where people dress up as former Ashlanders and tell their life story while standing at their grave site. It's really a great way to learn about the early settlers of this county. I did a blog post about it a few years ago. I'll have to do it again this year! Glad your weather has cooled..it snowed up in Cleveland the other day! First the tornado, then the snownado!

Some of the dates on it are from the 1800s. It's so sad that it's forgotten about. Makes me wonder if any of their families even know they have ancestors there.

Others grieve at times past.<br />It is commendable to take the interest. <br /><br />On working alone, being deaf, I enjoy working alone.
