"Me, too. I visited a historic cemetery this morning with my children, and one of the graves was of a woman who died in the 1890's at 32. She was predeceased by five of her young children. I have seven living children, at 38!"

Me Too!!

Here is a link to the Church Street Graveyard that was established in 1819 for the victims of Yellow Fever. A whole graveyard for one disease. BTW, Ol Joe Cain (father of modern Mardi Gras is buried there too.) Check out some of the pictures.

What a lovely cemetery! I'll have to keep it in mind if we ever get through Mobile again. I've "done" three very interesting ones since we moved here - one Methodist, one Lutheran, and one Catholic. I guess that means Baptist or Presbyterian for my next excursion!
