Spring Hill Cemetery

It felt good to get outside and get some fresh air today after being stuck inside since last Thursday evening with the flu.  It was pretty cold, about 17 degrees, but it didn't feel too bad if the wind wasn't blowing.

Riverview Cemetery, Parkersburg, WV.

Weekend Photos

The picture at the cemetery is from Friday evening.  We were headed to Appalachian Power Park to watch the Power play the Savannah Sand Gnats when a giant thunderstorm caused the game to be cancelled, so we went up to the cemetery and walked around in the rain for a while.

The other photo is the Gauley river just below the Summersville Dam.  We had been up there Saturday for another family reunion and we always like to go down by the river and mess around before we go home.

Zoar Cemetery

The view from Zoar Cemetery at Keslers Cross Lanes near Summersville, WV.  One of Kim's family members had passed and we went up for the funeral yesterday.  I want to go back up there someday next winter when there's a big snow on and get another picture from the same spot.  Click on the panorama for a better view.

Granville Blevins And The Gals

A couple of shots from last month that I liked but forgot to post.

Putnam County Fog

Beaufort, SC

A few shots I took while the gals were shopping on Bay Street this afternoon.

First Snow

The snow was Tuesday.  Yesterday it was about 65 degrees.  I love WV weather.

Mary M. Watkins

The top picture was taken through one of the small crosses in the door.

Old Sheldon Church Ruins

I was looking through some pictures and found this one of an an old church near my father-in-law's in Beaufort, SC.

Hill Family Cemetery

Went to Fayette county today for a memorial service for one of my wife's 1,001 cousins.  They buried his ashes in the family cemetery at Belva, WV.  The cemetery is on a narrow ridge top overlooking the Gauley river.  We've been to that hilltop a bunch of times since we've been married.  My wife's mom is buried here and I had the privilege of digging the grave for her.

Romeo

Spring Hill cemetery.

Confederate States of America

Lots of Confederate graves in the cemetery at Saint Helena Episcopal Church in Beaufort.  I go walk around this cemetery almost every time we come down here.

John William Cabell

I was walking around in Springhill Cemetery yesterday and found this headstone. John Cabell was the first firefighter on Charleston Fire Department to be killed in the line of duty. I did a little research and found that he was killed responding to a fire. The steamer and the team of horses (probably similar to the one shown) he was on was struck by a streetcar.

Gate to the Past

I came across this photo I took in Beaufort, SC at St. Helena Episcopal Church. The knobs are on a gate to a family mausoleum in the cemetery.
