Graveyard

In the graveyard by school, the ages range from those of about ninety to those who did not live more than a few hours. Some of the people that were buried in this graveyard served in WWI and had great inscriptions about their days of service written on their headstones from loved ones. Those that lived for only a few hours or at most one year also had sweet notes such as one headstone that read "Betty Ann Webb 1937-1938 Another little angel in heaven." Another read "Never Alone," this person was buried with their family and because they will never be alone because the Lord is always with them.

There were entire families married together, such as the Cook family who were all buried together, grandparents, parents, sons, daughters, everyone. There were also people were buried with their spouse, some even with heart shaped headstones. Some of the couples had one dead spouse but the other did not have a death date. At first I thought they had not yet died but the birth dates made that impossible so I then realized that they had been buried somewhere else. In the 1800s, if a person remarried they were to be buried with their new spouse so the grave stone that was created at first remained blank and their first spouse remains alone.
