Annual visit to the cemetary.

For 29 years now on Memorial day Mom and I went down and picked up Grandma Coartney to head to Enon to visit Grandpa Coartney and his parents. This year we went by our selves.


The first few years there was a color guard and a 21 gun salute at Enon. Brad used to pick up the bullets and brig them home. He still has some of them.


Our 2009 visit to Enon. Grandma Coartney's fathers parents are buried at Enon also, Martha and James Wright.





Mom took these pretty flowers over to Aunt Mary's last week one day. We drive through just to say hi sometimes.








After we leave Enon cemetary we head to Ashmore Cemetary. Grandma Coartney's parents Paul and Gertrude Wright along with both of Grandma's brothers, Uncle Bob & Uncle Jim Wright are at Ashmore. Grandma Coartney's mothers parents Grandma & Grandpa Brooks are buried at Ashmore in the back up on the hill. Grandma used to have me walk her back there every year. She didn't go visit the last few years was just too much walking on uneven ground.


Lucille Weston, Donna Coartney's mother is at Enon.




Mom and I also would visit the Fairview cemetary, the little country cemetary close to mom and dad's house. My Grandma and Grandpa Hawkins are buried there. Joe and I have placed our marker there by my Grandparents stone.
