    I'm a genealogist and my husband and I photo document cemeteries for others that are researching their family trees.. of course I attempt to do a little research on those that I document.. it really brings to light that every stone ,whether it's a big stone, little stone or even a fieldstone marks the resting place of someone that walked this Earth and have a story.

    My dad did genealogy work on the side when he was still alive and my mom and I would go with him to cemeteries and go looking around. I loved doing that with him. My mom would bring stuff for a picnic after we got done and we made a day out of it. I still love going through old cemeteries.

    I use to do civil war reenactments and got to participate in the burial of the Hunley crew. There was about 15 thousand reenactors that marched behind the cassions carrying the remains. We marched about 5 miles through Charleston and people lined the streets the entire way waving confederate flags. It was an honor. Btw there's a decent movie they made about the Hunley called the Hunley.

    This was a enjoyable cemetery walk, Lamont and the history on some of the lesser known gravestones fascinated me as much or more than the info on the Hunley, which I knew about. It's sad that it had all those previous failed attempts ( and deaths) before a working submarine could be launched, that was one thing I didn't know about this event. It's fascinating when they give some history right on the stones, thanks for catching some of those. Take care !

      ​@@janwarriner6554 So true. The burial 'bussness' is for now anyway a milit. billion dollar industry.
      Funeral homes don't tell family's that they can go to Walmart and get a coffen at a fraction of the price the funeral home would charge. Many state that the bodie HAS to be filled with crazy harsh chemicals (that get into our ground water, not to mention the steel coffens hurt the land)
      The above ground buildings have pipes that go into the ground where the body waste products drain into. The coffens are put in on a slant for this propose.
      Think a funeral home will say anything about green burials? NOPE !
      They even have big metal machines that the body is torn apart with extreme hot water blasted onto it and that water goes right back into our drinking water system. "YUCK !"
      Sure the water goes through a 'plant', I still say "YUCK!" I use UVBRITE bottles, at least it helps to kill germs with UV light.
      In England in the 1800's, long story short, folks were getting sick and dieing because of the towns drinking water, so were their animals. Alot of folks drank from a town fountain.
      What happened was the big cemetery was up on a big hill, the ground water seeped into the river alittle above the town which used that river for their main drinking and washing, & cooking with water.
      The pump can still be seen today in London but it's chained closed. Crazy stuff huh.

    Hope to run into you at the cemetery one of these days. Always searching for interesting cemeteries.
