Beautiful cemetery. They once walked where you walked in the video. Imagine....so long ago. There is an old saying : "I will not be gone and forgotten as long as someone speaks my name!" If you see this, read a few names out loud next time you stroll trough a cemetery. Perhaps some day someone will do it for us! :)

A friend shared her research on her ancestors with me. She said that discovering them and writing and thinking and speaking of them, she felt the sensation that they would “take a breath”. p, am be aware of her. The old saying goes: There is a bridge between the living and the dead, and that bridge is Love. ❤️🌹

It's sad seeing old churches like that. Makes one wonder how many families came to know God in that church. How many children entered its doors and were taught Bible lessons. Children who learned right from wrong and to love one another. Unlike in our world today that seems to be so far from God and the Truths of His Son Jesus Christ. Thanks for that. That picture up on the hill with the Church at the bottom and the mountains way off in the distance was incredible. A piece of Americana. I grew up in a Church on a Hill and I'm very sentimental right now.

You were on Zion Church Rd. If you continue up the road you will come to Moisers Knob Rd. Make a left. When you get to Michaels Rd on the left there was a house. It may be gone. You will see a pond and a trail downhill. You will come to two fields. The field to the right, if you go to the bottom you will find what may be a lime kiln built into the hillside.

That spring house in your thumb is the very place where I spent many moments of my youth. I actually had a party with friends at that spring house. When I was ten I was hunting with my father and we found an old family graveyard 🪦 of about 12 gravesites in the middle of a cornfield within a cluster of trees not very far from that spring house.

The road ends at the Delaware and there are two more springs after Owen's Springhouse on that rd but they are covered up by heavy underbrush. They are more easily visible in the fall. I regularly go to that road and fish the delaware where the Freeman Tract ends. The gated trails on the river side of the road lead to primitive camp sites for people traveling the delaware water trail.
