Two cousins adventure among country roads, a nearly forgotten cemetery and a village from yesteryear. A continuation from An Epidemic of DIPTHERIA

Oh, Isabella. This was not actually Napier, but on our way towards to the town. In the 1800s there was a small village which I'm not sure of the name - near the farm house my mom was raised in. No buildings are left from back then, but there is this cemetery off the road that my cousin took me to see (since we're both giant nerds for such stuff).

I was completely cocky about what photos I would take but then once we got there I was reserved as hell about taking photos. Just Isabella and another were photographed.

"Are you going to take any pictures?"
"no... I talk a lot of shit - but really, I don't want to be rude to the dead"
...."well.... might as well"

Christina Woolcock. When I die, I want a crazy old style grave. This is probably unlikely but yeah. A skull with wings would be awesome.

The peak of the general store (in which had the sign warning of the diphtheria epidemic).

St. Andrews church. There was a few interesting things about this church, none that I remember after nearly a year.

On our walk back from the church towards the car, two dogs joined us, first one and then the other. They walked with us for probably 10 minutes.

Sadly enough it was in this same area that a few months ago a puppy mill with absolutely horrific conditions was discovered. www.pet-abuse.com/cases/13444/ON/CA/
