Will there be another history walk at Elmwood Cemetery. I had to work and missed it. I grew up 3 blocks from there and love how peaceful it is. please schedule another walk. I wont miss it again.
I spend a lot of time here just thinking. Its where I read my Sunday paper. I always station myself by one little tombstone that simply reads “our lamb”. I was wondering if anyone knew anything aboiut this one. I work days mainly so I can never make it to the office to do my own research. Just comment back.
