Alas, many of the oldest stones are too badly eroded to read. What is shocking to us today, is how many young children are buried here. Mortality rates being much higher back then. I noted one family plot that had a very large marker for a family member who died at 15. The markers for the rest of the family were much more modest. The child must have been the light of they life, and, of course, their every hope for the future.</p></blockquote><p></p>
