Yesterday April and I went down to the Halifax area, near Harrisburg to take pictures of gravestones. It was really cool. I have been researching my family for over ten years now. It has been frustrating, but fun. I was taking pictures of the cemeteries in Halifax, Enders, Enterline and surrounding areas. It is really cool to be able to find the places where these folks lived and are buried. My Sweigard ancestors came to PA from Germany. I dont know much more from there, but I keep hoping to find out more. I wish I knew as much about the Brooks family. I have them traced back to Virginia, but thats as far as I can get with them. I am currently concentrating on finding the burial site of a Josiah J. Brooks. He died during the civil war on board a hospital steamer the Isabella. I dont know where he was buried, or IF he was buried. I keep looking and one of these days I'll find it.
Anyway, here is the next posting from the mind of the moose. Such as it is. 3
Just beyond the edge of thought,
Barely beyond the edge of time,
There lies a place where time, worry,
And age, dare not tread.
Full of music, beauty, and light.
A place devoid of darkness, hatred and violence.
There have I built a mighty temple.
Though scarred and bleak from without,
Looking devoid and barren,
Within it is wholly good and beautiful,
Capable of many wondrous things.
Crumbled, it has been rebuilt,
With a tender smile, a gentle ear and a soft hand.
