Grave Yard

I suppose it's a morbid hobby but there's a lot to learn by wandering around in an old graveyard. Today while my wife was shopping, I found an old and seemingly almost forgotten cemetery in Rootstown Ohio.

I was struck by how many of the men buried there were veterans of the American Revolution and the War of 1812. There were many stones to study, but one in particular stood out to me.    

The grave stone read, "In Memory of Israel Coe, who died Sept 21th AD 1821 aged 65 years. Also Artemisia his wife who died May 19th 1812 aged 53 years." To read about Israel and his life click here.
