It is interesting to think of the times in which these people lived, what types of clothing they might have worn, what they might have done for a living.... <br /><br />Two summers ago we went to the small PA town where my father was born and found the family plot after much researching and finding a wonderful lady there to help us. The plot for 8 people (two generations back, my parents are not there) wasn't marked so we bought a bench marker for it. While a child, I remember my parents contributing to a marker, but whoever was in charge never bought it and put it in place. It just seemed wrong that those people whose DNA I carry were not left without marker. My grandfather owned the town newspaper and was a friend of Samuel Clemmons. It is wise to know our history so we can build on what was good and avoid what was not.<br /><br />I really enjoy your blog.<br /><br />Best,<br />LoisLois Evensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129343619065721588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-73171069112905498962010-06-10T01:02:27.930-04:002010-06-10T01:02:27.930-04:00Awesome poem, especially the last stanza.
