HEADSTONE HUNTING

I love pioneer cemeteries, especially the ones off the beaten path. We went looking for the man clan's third great grandparents and the wee ones were so cute looking for a headstone beginning with a "W".
We found the Wiencken lot and the headstones are needing a gentle cleaning and some TLC. The boys were so proud of their hunting skills.

The cemetery has huge old oak trees, a beautiful view of farm land and the sweetest sight of family placed benches scattered throughout the small cemetery.

It was a good day.

Did you notice how old some of the headstones were? I found two, one 1779 and another one 1777. It's in such a beautiful setting!!
