2022: CEMETERIES & ZINKERS & WHATNOTS

 March 11

left here around 9:30 and was back around 2:30 in the afternoon.  I had not been to Bourne National in a couple of years. So I figured before I only have Saturday and Sunday with the truck I may as well go. Weather was perfect- cool not too much wind.

Saw some "religious" emblems I had not seen before. Also stopped by to see Dick Stephens  sec. 21a.Had no tokens with me. Which was fine.

Zinkers are white bronze- zinc gravestone markers used in the late 1800s up to the Great War. Then many were confiscated for the war effort to make ammunition.

Seaside after a snow storm with Chrystir plot dusted with snow. One year later we were slammed with a storm and I lost power for almost 2 days.It was awful.

as I am cleaning up photo files-

this is from Seaside Cemetery. I have always been fascinated by this structure. It is only a storage shed and pump house but still...

 Melvina Small's stone reset upside down

as I found it- you can see stones in the background

I guess it was done so all information would show.

December 24

I go to Seaside alone to check out Roger's stone. everything covered in ice. The winds were so strong the blew the rocks off each gravestone. Bob's blew over to Roger's stone and was frozen in place. ( the next time I was there I was able to fix the rocks). I noticed the fence was damaged. When I got back here to load the photos I wondered if a tree had fallen and done that damage and was it the pine tree that every one has wanted removed. No the pine was still there.
