Did these 2 siblings die of the same illness just weeks apart?
How tragic to lose not one, but two children like this.

I have never seen this cemetery art before. Have you?

New Cemetery Walks

Here in Kansas change is in the air. I took advantage of the nice temps we had and visited a few cemeteries two counties east of me. Lots of hedge apples littering the back roads and grounds of Kansas.

I am hoping winter affords me time to catch up on a few projects and work on research and new blog posts. Here are the cemeteries I visited.

Harvey County
Walton & Old Walton Cemeteries

Marion County
Prairie Lawn, Catlin, Dunkard, Doyle Valley, Goessell and an Unnamed Cemetery.

I found a U. S. Geological Survey marker at Doyle Valley Cemetery.

Salem Orphans Home Cemetery Walk

Nothing like walking through tall field grass to look for and photograph headstones. Every rustle of the weeds sends a little ripple of panic. The headstone pictured was one I wanted to turn over but I wasn't that brave or strong.
