Do you have a picture of the stone?

I should somewhere but I'm not finding it on my computer. Maybe lost. Nope, found them.



Rachel's is intact




Approach to the cemetery


after walking up Joy Road

That would be my car down the road

Captain Amos was born in Rehoboth MA in 1761, died in Putney in 1837. Rachel was born in Dunstable MA and died in Putney in 1822. Found the reference to Grandfathers grandmother, yes born in Delaware, OH in 1818, same year her father Francis Fletcher Joy died. Francis' older brother Captain Wilder Joy also went to Delaware, OH. He had a daughter named Lucy who's daughter Anna my mother knew and referred to as "Cousin Anna". I don't have a birth date but given Lucy married in 1863, I would guess Anna would have been in her 60's when my mother was born in 1928.

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.

Also the big, modern (family?) marker in the left foreground. Stuff on the camera lens, no doubt. Did you also notice what happened to the power lines? Funny what happens when images are spliced together!

I don't recall getting permission, didn't even need my passport. But that was 1974, things change.
Congrats to her!

Yep, things are different now, need to get an Study Permit. Need a Passport or Enhanced Drivers License to cross the border. Since she has been accepted at Mt. A, the SP should be "automatic".
