Oliver Viets M.D. Died March 27, 1875 age 65 years. Here is something I have told some of you about, a leaf grave marker. In late Fall and early Spring when the leaves are still on the ground, they can find graves you cant see. If you see leaves laying in a rectangular position, there is a grave there whether you see it or not. They don't settle that way naturally, but after blowing around they seem to settle on graves you cant see and or grave markers that have settled into the ground a little. So, to show you. I took a photo of leaves. All (P's) will now be posted to the Cemetery Report list after the Cemetery Report that they go with. (P) 2 Grace_________ Died Aug 6, 1849 age 78 years.
