Last weekend we went to take a look at a cemetery that is near the "lower farm" of Henderson Settlement. I was taken aback at what I found there. It was a small family cemetery and there were maybe a hundred headstones, half of which were like the ones above. I only saw one with the full name written out on it, there were some with initials and many more with no markings or markings that had been worn off. Poverty had followed these people to death.

Just something to let the world know that that person was once a living,breathing person that laughed,cried,loved and was loved.Tears were shed over those simple stones. Thats not poverty.It is a rich man that passes away and people miss him. Dad Y.
"Dad Y", you are an eloquent writer. That is a good way to look at it. It's about how these people were loved, not the monument. Aunt Joan
