Fall at Spring Grove Cemetery

 Good morning,

We live very close to Spring Grove Cemetery, a U.S. National Historical Landmark and the third largest cemetery in the United States.

Not only is this a beautiful place of eternal rest for those who are buried here, it is a beautiful place for the living to visit at any time of the year.  

Kjell and I enjoy visiting in the Fall to photograph the Fall color.

 

 Especially in the older sections of the cemetery many famous Cincinnati names appear everywhere.  Above you see the family burial site of the McAlpin family who owned one of the largest department stores in Cincinnati.

 Among them are founders of Procter and Gamble, Sterns and Foster, Supreme Court Justice Salmon P. Chase and many Civil War Officers.  A complete list is here.

I stayed with the car and took pictures while Kjell moved around with his camera.
 

Here is some fascinating reading about one of the nation's oldest cemeteries.

All the best,

Lois
