“THE NORWEGIAN CEMETERY”

NORWAY, ILLINOIS

I think, we all hope our loved ones are never forgotten for their time spent in this Earth age but as time goes on,

years and even centuries, it surely is the Genealogists that do indeed keep their memory alive!

My fascination is not the grave, for the soul is with our Creator, GOD Almighty.

As I stand in front of the headstone and read, I wonder, “ what did they looked like, what kind of life had they led?

They were the founders, the builders, and inventers long before we got here. Are there any loved ones searching to find them?

Searching to connect the missing links in their true bloodlines?”

I am also amazed at the artistic detail carved into the old stone as these date back to the early 1800’s!

Most of all, maybe I can provide the link between someone and their long lost loved ones.

I hope you enjoy the photo’s, more so, I hope you find your loved one from the past.

“Helping to bring families together” Blessings on your journey, Jeanne

This is my favorite, such detail and so well preserved!

It stands straight & proud with it’s beautiful artistic carvings.
