I am becoming the person in my family who knows where the bodies are buried.
My mom's cousin and I frequently talk and I decided to ask her an important question. She is 82 years old and I don't call unless I have read the NY Times - or at least the Sunday edition.
Do you know where my Grandparents and Aunt Joan are buried?
They're across from my parents.
Where is that?
Loudenville, the Jewish cemetery in Loudenville.
(Fortunately, I know where Loudenville is located.)
Thank you Cousin Susan.
A little more chit chat and we hang up.
I think I am going to Loudenville.
I am guessing we own at least one more plot.
Joe, Linda's father, would have bought enough for everyone.
This may sound truly bizarre, but I wonder how many unclaimed cemetery plots exist in this country?
I wonder if there is a national register for burial plots?
Where is everyone buried?? Maybe, I will find more relatives buried in Loudenville?
Twisted, I know...but I am on a hunt to find the past.
xoxo,
Bob's Daughter
