You see how upsetting Broderick Cemetery was? So upsetting I couldn’t even bring myself to post about it! Eh, I’ll get to it one day, but it just was not worth going on about. But I have a delightful little gem I’d like to share with you, so here goes.

Saturday was the day after Christmas which means Half Price Books 20% off sale. While we were there, it was a good time to play with the new GPS in Kristine’s car, which displays cemeteries in blue. So we discovered Walnut Grove Cemetery, which actually has an enormous entrance right on High Street that we have missed a billion times. The only entrance we found that wasn’t gated off, though, was on the corner of Milton and Lincoln in a little residential nook. This cemetery is delightful, and actually huge; it contains a complete second section over a footbridge that goes right up to the backyards of the neighborhood. The rest of it sprawls over a wide area neatly marked off by little streets with names like Buckeye, Beech, Maple, and Cemetery. There is a full-size mausoleum as well as a cemetery office.

The footbridge

Eclectic if nothing else, Walnut Grove offers some great headstones for any enthusiast. I regret to report that because of freezing temperatures, we did very, very little with it, but here are some of our favorite highlights of the visit. At least it was sunny, so great pictures!

The Cheeseman!

I wonder if he's related?

That's ... just weird

What does that even mean?

He always had to get the last word.
