Prairie Cemetery - RIP


Easter Sunday, after a lovely meal and conversation with my daughter-in-laws family, I drove gravel roads as I went home. As I drove I saw what looked like headstones so I stopped. This was not the manicured cemetery we picture at Memorial Day but tall grasses and looked like no one had been there to visit for some time. 




Here lies Moses J died in 1873 at 74 years 25 days of life and Anna wife of J B(?) Hains died in 1898 at 44 years and Mamma 1861 -1891 and Mabel Louise 1886 - 1891 and James T Hewett born March 27, 1837 died June 16,1887.
