That is pretty heavy. Do you wonder about them and their lives? Would you ever allow anyone to disturb the sites, if it was your decision?

I weedwack around the markers every so often and talk to them. The cemetary is in one of my wifes horse paddocks.The original farmhouse burned down in the 50’s and the farm was rented out to local farmers.
Years ago the guys from Barn Builders show (before they became famous) was going to buy our 3 barns but we could never come up with an agreement. One barn they dated 1840-1850, the other 1870’s and the third early 1900’s.
My wife and I have no kids. We are in talks with both the local state park which butts up against our farm and the local state university to donate it to them and keep it as a farm forever after we die.
We do not want it developed out
There are a lot of family cemeteries on farms in the rural valleys around here.
