Memorial Day is coming up,
so my co-leader and I thought it would be nice
to take the boys in our church activity group . . .
. . . to a local cemetery
to take pictures for Billion Graves.
This little cemetery is the resting place
of dozens of Revolutionary War veterans.
I love the idea of memorializing them and their families,
and helping their descendants learn about them.
Many of the headstones are weathered and overgrown with lichen,
so we'll need to type the inscriptions into the website
in order for the photos to be useful to researchers who can't squint at the stones in person.
Sometimes doing family history is a labor of love.
