My text was from George Odell:
All our lives we are in need
And others are in need of us
It is traditional to clean graves of your ancestors on All Saints Day. It is a school holiday, though this year it was on a Sunday, so it didn't matter. Big signs advertised vigil masses and other special services.
After the service we went to the grave of the first two ministers of First Church, Rev. Sylvester Larned and Rev. Theodore Clapp.
Nice location... "we have a place on Orange Street"...
Here they are!!
It's been a while... since 1850 or so.
Me, down with the Rev's
Our crowd, from First and Community Churhes...
Next stop, St. Roch Cemetery
Including the room of thanks, where the first photo came from...
A wall of above-ground tombs... the individual spots can be re-used. It takes about 8 months between burials.
Those who got in early have the best location...
Is it time yet?
