Cemetery Lost and Now Found!

One crumbling tombstone remains, having fallen to the ground. The others are long gone although Lorine McGinnis Schulze of Olive Tree Genealogy remembers seeing six still standing in the early 1970s.

Now the town of Midland Ontario has discovered this old Pioneer Cemetery and is searching for records of those buried there since the early 1800s.

Read about the forgotten cemetery, lost and now found.

Historic Home Once Owned by Olive Tree Genealogy

Original article written by Lorine McGinnis Schulze of Olive Tree Genealogy and published here in part with her permission.
House present day

This is one of the homes I used to live in. We bought it in 1974 and lived there for three years. It was built in 1902 and has recently been classified as a historic home.

I wish the cute little barn/garage at the end of the driveway was visible. I'm not sure when it was built.

The home, when I lived there, had a front and back staircase. The back one went from the kitchen to an upstairs bedroom and I assume it was originally for the servants.

Old Tombstone Kills Young Boy in Utah

Parents and Grandparents - watch your children! Please be sure to teach them about the dangers of old tombstones. This is a very sad but true story of a young boy killed by an older tombstone when it fell on him.

Every year hundreds of people are injured and killed by older tombstones that have fallen into disrepair. Contrary to popular belief, it is not the responsibility of the cemetery to maintain these stones! It is up to the families of the deceased.

Don't let your children push or lean against tombstones. Don't let them play hide and seek. We've all done it but we need to think about it and try to prevent such tragedies from happening
