More Cemetery photos

We went from Devils Lake on to Fordville.   Grandpa Basky is buried in the cemetery at Fordville, there isn't really a sign out by the road.  We come into Fordville from the west and go over a bridge, we look to the south and past a big brown square house you will see the arch of the cemetery and you drive down by  the house to the cemetery.
His grave is located near the west side of the cemetery.
This is the foot stone.
  Then there is the head stone,















This is the head stone from Grandpa Blasky and in front of it is a new marker that says perpetual care, I am not sure what that means, we saw it by another stone, too.  Grandpa Blasky is buried here because he was on the outs with the Catholic church and they wouldn't bury him in their cemetery.














Then we drove to Conway, I am not sure if I could get there by myself, I don't know the area very well,   We drove out of town to the east by the Potulny farm and angled north, the cemetery is on the right side of the road in the country.  Grandma Blasky and his first wife(the grandma for Jack's cousins, Ione, Arlene and Bev) are buried beside each other in the south section of the cemetery.

Do you remember how she was staying with us that winter when Grandpa and grandma were away, and how she feel in our house, broke her hip and was hospitalized after that?









This is his first wifes stone, but it was difficult to read so I took another photo up close.
Her name was Josephine. There were several other graves that we looked at at this cemetery






















This is Jack's great grandpa Michael Blasky's marker, it was difficult to read.





     
 









This is Anton Gorecki marker, he would have been Grandma Lucy's Father.

 Lloyd and Evangeline Cost were relatives  that we did see, they were related to Potulny's.

That was the end of our Fordville Cemetery experience
