Recently we found a "lost cemetery" with the grave of a young preacher. Our findings along with other photos and information about the local dead are posted on our website, http://rvgslibrary.org under the Cemeteries link. Please look for our blog for a photo of the recently found grave of Rev.

It was only within the last 10 years or so, that we established that for 30 years family had been attending the wrong grave.<br /><br />That came about, because a cousin at a later date took another cousin to the wrong spot and laid a small numbered marker in the wrong place. of course everyone looked out for the maker and laid flowers there. <br /><br />Tragic and makes me smile just a little, because that act is so much like the family.Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010164489470902615.post-45880045514187868952012-03-04T15:39:13.797+00:002012-03-04T15:39:13.797+00:00One of my great-aunts is buried in Tiverton cemete...One of my great-aunts is buried in Tiverton cemetery (she was 4). The family was too poor to afford a headstone, so the only way anybody knew she was there was when I visited, 60 years after her death, and after finding the record in the cemetery registers, found a piece of grass which was approximately where she is. Not even her sister (my grandmother) knew the location. None of our family live there, now. But *I* know, even if I do live hundreds of miles away.Ros Haywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627277156997592066noreply@blogger.com
