Kenneth, a Marine forever..
Strolled through a local cemetery today in Maynard, MA and took many photos of vets gravestones. This one I am sharing without even knowing the family because he was born the same year we were married.

Rest in peace, Kenneth. Thank you for your service.

Glenwood Cemetery Sign


Glenwood Cemetery Sign

Medium sized and large cemeteries often are forced to display their rules because of the lack of common sense on the part of people visiting. I am always glad to see this type of information posted. I can tell you that this type of sign works in this place because this cemetery is very well kept.

A LOT of people were in the cemetery for the ceremony on Memorial Day when I took this photo. People probably wondered why I was taking a photo of the signs.

Since the "other" entrance is across the street from my daughter's home, I imagine I will be a frequent visitor to this place. It is "back to back" with a Catholic cemetery which looks just as well kept.

When learning about being a gravestone enthusiast, I read that it is a good idea to take a photo of the sign with the name of the cemetery and a photo of the "instructional sign" if there is one.

Tombstone Tuesday: Smith

Taken in Glenwood Cemetery in Maynard, MA, (on Memorial Day) is this photograph of this interesting monument. Guess what? There are no names on the reverse side or headstones on the ground.

My family was amused when I told them this is the most common surname in America. Perhaps the Smith family for this plot are still living? I love a good cemetery mystery!
