Bethsaida Cemetery

My wife, Terri, and I visited Bethsaida the Saturday before Memorial Day. This was the first time she had ever asked to accompany me to a cemetery. I thought  she wanted to help. She didn't. Her reasoning was sound enough though. No one should prowl around an old cemetery alone - large markers can topple, holes for tripping abound and then there is the occasional snake (see Pleasant Hill).

Somewhere in the car Terri found an American flag and placed it on the grave of Joseph Innis, Civil War veteran. Joseph died October 14, 1862 in St. Louis according to military records. His stone reads October 4th however.

Rows are numbered from west to east and stones north to south.
