    I think that is where one of my Schindler's is buried, Andrew Schindler, b. 19 Aug 1881, to 19 June 1923. So only started to watch.
    @6.36 that lloks like a special section bought for a wealthy family marked off so multiple family members can be buried together. I've seen this often in especially my local Harrisburg cemeteries. (now I'll probably see you answer)
    Most of the smaller stones I have found in front of the bigger stones were for children, and it seemed most of those died young.

      Ahh, Irish again: Michael Buggy was one of 8 children born to John Buggy and Margaret O'Brien. His parents brought him to the USA when he was 2 years old. Michael Buggy was a miner. He was a self taught and excellent carpenter. The home he built on N. West St. in Williamstown, stands today with only a minor exterior change to the porch. He was a devout Catholic. With his wife, Anna (Nancy) Cannon Buggy, he fathered 10 children and lists 6 siblings..

      Mary Kilraine Craven Comuskey--Mary had gone to see President Lincoln about getting her first husband, Pat Craven, discharged from the Union Army, citing a need for him at home. Lincoln said no, so Mary signed up for the Army herself and served as a laundress.
