child or somebody else

Helen's mother

i saw these deer as I was leaving 

I grew up playing little league baseball right across the street from where my Grandma Helen is buried, but didn't know it until 2024

Below: The Burial place of Helen's Mother & Father in Wellsville New York 

when I arrived it was apparent that nobody had visited the burial place of my great grandparents in quite some time. There were lichens and moss growing all over the stone. I could barely read the words on it. So I took a few hours to clean it off a little as best as I could . It's the least I could do in memory of them. Rest-in-Peace beloved ones 

Looks so much nice after a little tender care ------------------------------
Below: after Wellsville, I continued back westward with the intention of visiting more of my ancestors  burial locations.  Below is Oak Grove Cemetery in Washington Indiana where my grandma Helen's great grandparents,  Hugh & Lydia Ann Hyatt Rogers are buried (as well as 2 of their 3 children)
