stopping at the cemetery....

After purchasing the Explorer we headed south to New Auburn, Minnesota. I have been wanting to go here for a couple years now.
My great great grandpa and grandma are buried here....Frank and Sarah Ramsdell. He came from Maine to settle in Minnesota.
My Dad always told us that Frank was killed in some kind of horse & buggy accident when he had been drinking.
There is some kind of yellow growth on Frank's stone. I tried rubbing some of it off. Tractor joe said to leave it for now....we would come back to work on cleaning. It was cold and windy...so I agreed to that idea. The lake in the background is still frozen.
On a warmer day we can wonder around and see who else is buried here.

I will have to google "cleaning grave stones" and see what I can find out.
