At first I thought all of those trinkets were sort of disrespectful, but when I thought about it a little more, who am I to decide what's appropriate. I was struck by the number of Matchbox/Hotwheels cars. Seeing those little cars, kind of "brought it home" for me. Maybe that's a good thing, that we still feel an emotional connection 109 years later.Cynthia Shenettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089125778529696076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675676126371494857.post-24424116862269657602010-09-08T21:40:45.156-04:002010-09-08T21:40:45.156-04:00I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who ...I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who gasped at the sight of all of the trinkets. I would definitely not have expected that, especially on a grave so old.<br /><br />It's nice that those children are being remembered though.Kerry Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590443839479686201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675676126371494857.post-8377428332697549042010-09-08T09:47:47.778-04:002010-09-08T09:47:47.778-04:00Carol,

I wanted to take a picture of it, but the sunlight wasn't right for a photo. The arch over the other gate says, "In God We Trust."<br /><br />I was taken aback a bit by all the trinkets on the stone. I wasn't expecting it. It kind of reminds me of the offerings left in the cemeteries in New Orleans. You don't really see that in New England. At least I haven't.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!Cynthia Shenettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089125778529696076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675676126371494857.post-3008148070970279022010-09-08T09:36:39.805-04:002010-09-08T09:36:39.805-04:00Lisa, I noticed from your blog you too have had lu...Lisa, I noticed from your blog you too have had luck tracking down family in old cemeteries. Good for you! Riverside is a fascinating place, and I hope to get back there when I have a little more time to really look around. I love the last sentence of your comment by the way. Only a genealogist/family historian would use the words "wonderful" and "cemetery" in the same sentence!<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!Cynthia Shenettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089125778529696076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675676126371494857.post-29247206722087749232010-09-07T16:09:38.026-04:002010-09-07T16:09:38.026-04:00Very interesting, the gate is fab, love the photo....Very interesting, the gate is fab, love the photo.

It feels like time has forgotten the places and the people. How wonderful that you found the cemetery!Lisa Swanson Ellamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13845774053431903046noreply@blogger.com
