Near my neighborhood, I found a small cemetery. I thought there might be some old headstones of interest and I decided to make a visit. It's a very poor cemetery that appears to belong to a church that is no longer in existence.
Many of the headstones were damaged, and some were completely missing. Whoever is buried in those graves is now nameless, gone and long forgotten. Many of the graves contained children.
From the names, I believe the church must have been ethnic Polish. In any case, these were poor people and a far cry from Lakeside Cemetery, with the likes of John D. Rockefeller. I found one marker that was wood, and another that was home-made. Many stones can't be read at all.
