This Halloween we decided to finally take the local cemetery tour.
We’ve walked through the cemetery but never did the tour. When Jerry got his new Minolta camera, way back when, we went one night for him to take pictures for a class he was taking. He got some interesting shots. Tracy and Tony do you remember that? It was kind of spooky. I’d show you but they were slides he took.
One of the most prominent families in Long Beach was the Bixby’s. We sat in the chairs for that one. I read Jotham Bixby was called the father of Long Beach.
here’s a little info from Wikipedia:
These actors were portraying people hired by the Bixbys to work on their ranch. It was very entertaining and fun to hear their stories of life back then. She played a cook and he was in charge of livestock.
We didn’t see their graves that day. Maybe next year?
or Hattie ⬇️ are used anymore either
there was a large population of Japanese living in long beach
It’s always interesting to walk through cemeteries. On our trips we always liked to visit them, especially the historic ones. The east has some that are very old and ornate but unfortunately not always kept up. It’s sad to see all the children that died too soon, also all the soldiers that died too young.
“who you gonna call”
It was a nice outing. The weather was not too hot, there was a nice breeze, very pleasant but bittersweet.
Hope you’re all doing well and still enjoy looking at the blog. I know I can’t please everyone all the time. But maybe ‘once in awhile and now and again’ I’ll hit the mark.🎯
so stay tuned just in case
