When you said wizbang I thought you were using an upright washing machine. Interesting

He sells plans for a Whizbang chicken plucker also,

So sad you have no Joy in your family!!!! But I bet there is a good possibility that the families knew of each other, only a few hundred people in Putney back then.

OK, here are our "dead people"

The red marker is yours, the little grey marker is mine, have to get to a Google map and zoom in to see it. Farther down the little road (Joy Road!) to the left of the Dipping Hole cemetery is another green square - the Joy cemetery. I didn't go to that one, Joy road was REALLY rough. Would need a pickup at least I think. Sure would be interesting to know where all the Joy families lived on that road.

Hmm, not so sure about the placement of the Joy cemetery, in satellite view it sure looks like someone's house/property. Unless there is a small cemetery hidden in the trees somewhere. In any case no cemetery the size of what Google maps shows on "map view". Dipping Hole is so small and in the trees it doesn't show on satellite view and street view doesn't go down any roads near it. Old North Burial Ground is very open, easy to see on satellite view. Sorry but I couldn't pick out any names on the stones

When I zoomed in on the cemetery I noticed two of the grave stones to the right of the electric pole have a misty image over them.

You're right pertnear I just went and checked. Maybe those were new graves and the occupants were on their way to Heaven.

Oh my!


Sorry, I thought that was a given. Washed out of a river, lake or pond but the water went down while they weren't "over" a river, lake or pond. Stuck wherever the receding water left them.

Could have been a water twister sucked them up and spit them out.

Goodnight all hope you all get the rest you need I am going to try anyhow

Oohh, would you like to come and fix Captain Amos' headstone? Rachel's is OK, but his is broken. I went to find the cemetery a few years ago. Got to about the right place but wasn't sure so I pulled into a farm that was nearby. Turns out he was the person that tends the town's cemeteries, though only once a year. And yep I WAS supposed to go up what looked like a logging road across from his driveway. I went up a ways and parked, walked the rest of the way.

Do you have a picture of the stone?

I looked in mine, nope, we are not related... mine has no Joy.

My family has no joy, and probably no Joy.

Have you been to Putney? Is it pretty?

I have no idea where it is. Just the sentence "I have dead people in Putney" was the best I had heard yesterday.

I thought there would be a 'puppy' but, there is not. Your latest creation is beautiful though SCG wouldn't expect anything less from you.

Since it's 5 am and I have to get up before 8 am, guess I might as well go to sleep.
Goodnight guys. Catch you later!
