2012.03.22

Paul points out different types of trees..
|
A lot of Dogwood blooming
|
Go into the woods here..
|
Just beyond this Dogwood
|
Here's the giant cedar tree standing guard over them and flowering bush covering a grave
|
"Doodle" examines this one..
|
Sue and Paul reading our great, great, great grandfather's stone..
|
|
Sue admires the tallest Cedar tree we have seen here..
|
|
|
He lived to be just 57
|
This is Sarah's..Waid's Native American wife..
|
This one has a hand with forefinger pointing to heaven..
|
Sarah's is the one lying on the ground..All born and died in 1800's
|
|
First cousin Paul took us (Sue, Doodle and I) to see the graves of our great, great, great grandmother Sarah, a full blood Native American and her husband..seven graves in all..beside an old wagon road..Huge Cedar tree had been planted there among the pines and oaks. Several flowering bushes were blooming planted by relatives before us..great time!

I find our past history fascinating, my mum has traced her ancestors back to 1735 up in the Orkney Isles, North of Scotland... it's good to know where you come from, it gives you a sense of belonging...
