First grave I saw is Baby Nell she lived for 1 day 19th May 1941 no other information .. To the right of Baby Nell are a number of graves with the surname Myers .. I was wondering if they could be related to the Myers family?<br /><br />I was there a week and lots of people frequent it .. Visiting sites, cleaning up and just being.<br /><br />Thank you for postingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04000030891295227456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467673506431999910.post-14293852308725200422012-05-10T21:51:21.765+10:002012-05-10T21:51:21.765+10:00You should never judge a cememtery by it's gra...You should never judge a cememtery by it's graves.

You are a born story-teller.<br /><br />I agree with Sanna about the cemeteries I have to go back to now that I know what to look for. Nearly every grave has a story that can be researched.<br /><br />That is sad about the National Serviceman CJ Whiston. I bet he is on the wall down at the AWM. I will add him to my list so that I take a photo next time I am down in our national capital, which will be October sometime.<br /><br />Thanks for this. I enjoy myself down here each week.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467673506431999910.post-35746237663747775662012-05-10T07:25:39.377+10:002012-05-10T07:25:39.377+10:00interesting!

It sounds like the caretaker does a labor of love each time he cuts and trims the grass. Ironically, I am friends with two women - both nurses - whose children were killed just a little way from their homes. In both cases people ran to their homes to get them to help at the scene. One was a 7th grade boy who was killed riding his bike at the end of their street. The other was a high school girl I had taught who was driving too fast on her way to cheerleading practice and hit a tree head on. It is a real heartbreaker. geniegeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475608100401444065noreply@blogger.com
