Tombstone Territory

I have been hanging out in Oak Grove Cemetery a lot lately.  We buried my parents' ashes there last month, on my grandmother's grave.  I've been back to photograph a couple of times.

Since one of my research goals is to thoroughly annotate my great great grandfather,  John Jay Johns',  journal, the cemetery is a good reference to who was living in St. Charles at the time.

When I walk around in Oak Grove, I recognize names everywhere.  Sometimes it seems like I am related to everyone there, however distantly.  It's not true, of course, but I see names everywhere I recognize.  I suspect that the names I recognize were mostly Presbyterians.
