Look to your left. Look to your right. Only one of you is going to pass this course.
Here in NJ there are different flea markets depending on what you want

Antiques? Golden Nugget

Tools and parts? Englishtown

Crafts and/or farmers market stuff? Columbus

Stuff bulk ordered off AliExpress? Rice's.

Drove up to a local pioneer cemetery where my grandpa is buried, for some dipshit reason I only really photographed the wildflowers but I took some pics on the way home too

weird christian sign that says "ReturnTome" that I always read as "return tome"


Farmland shots



For some reason no matter how clear Mt. Hood is I can never get a photo


The graveyard has a lot of people who died in the 1920s flu epidemic, it was sad seeing so many people under 30 all with deaths in those years




This is the only stone I took a photo of because its so depressing, the 3rd side had a bunch of babies ranging from 3 days to a few months old

Emmaline, 1862-1877, and her husband John Wardle 1815-1902. She died at 15, when her husband was...62 :barf: and the old creep got to live to 87


More even than the lack of antibiotics/modern medicine, stuff like THAT makes me thankful I wasnt born back then

If it makes you feel any better, that’s a pretty flat ascender for a 6 - I think she was born in 1852. You know, when her husband was celebrating his 37th birthday.

we thought that too but I ran my finger along the number and it makes a loop and its smooth, not broken, idk if they started carving a 5 and had to fix it into a 6 or if the font is just weird

The thing I notice a lot of in cemeteries is that a good number of the really old graves are babies and children and with more modern graves when a husband died first the wife would usually live for another 10-30 years but if the wife died first the husband usually makes it another 5 years or less. It's not hard to guess why.

I don’t want to dox you too much, but throwing her name into Google returns genealogy hits which put her birth year as early as 1839 by census records, so maybe everything is wrong!

quote:

Census records say Emaline was 28 years old in 1870. This makes the year of her birth 1842.
NOTE: On the 1850 census she was listed as 10 years old, making her year of birth 1839.

She also seems to have a daughter born almost a month after she died?

Well that location is correct, this is the pioneer cemetery near Carlton, but 39 is nothing like 42, 52, or 62 so I have no idea when she was born now lmao. None of these ages make it not creepy for her to have married a guy born in 1815 though..but at this point maybe he wasnt born in 1815 either

When that grave marker was put in, the one it was replacing was probably worn enough that the date was not readable and the 39 didn't have much left and was confused for 52. Plus the ease of checking records wasn't a thing until recently.

Theres a cemetery in my hometown too thats half pioneer half modern and I always liked the pretty and unique headstones on the old half and hated the stupid flat mow-over stones in the modern half. It was cool seeing the families that all the streets were named after

Would that stone be a replacement? It would only be like 120 or so years old if it was original and it looks about that old, this area wasnt settled until like the 1840s so none of the stones are very old compared to farther east

as she died before her husband, presumably he knew what year she was born in and at least looked at the headstone. like, I could see mistaking march for may, but the yob being more than a few years off is weird

John Tyler has a living grandson. Tyler, who was born in 1790 and was President from 1841-45, still has a living grandson, Harrison Ruffin Tyler. Another grandson died last year.

President Tyler's first wife died and he kept on going. His second wife was not quite 24 when they married (Tyler was 54) and they had seven children. He and the first Mrs. Tyler had eight.

Harrison Tyler's father was Lyon Tyler, born in 1853 during the second marriage when John was 63. Like his father, Lyon married twice. Harrison was born in 1928 and Lyon was 75.
