I really liked the fact that you couldn't travel more than 4 mph.

I wanna give a big shout of THANKS to Tori up in St. Ignace MI for going and locating my great-grandmother's and my grandfather's headstone for me. I live in Texas, so it was such a wonderful suprise to receive the photos...

I can see why they would require that though. A horse would tear up the grass.

Oh Lori that is so neat. I never thought about back a hundred years ago having that kind of restrictions. Just remember to tie your horse and no dogs allowed.. hmm.. I wonder if they had to carry a LARGE bag and shovel to clean up after the horse.

The following is the ticket my great grandfather, Ralph Marling, used to visit his wife, Maggie's burial place in Greenlawn Cemetery, Columbus, Ohio. Thought you might enjoy reading the rules at the time.

Thank you Cyndi for the link on Pennsylvania cemetery laws. I will read it with interest.

This is in regard to Sally Nelson's question below, regarding PA cemeteries.

I was unable to find anything mentioning your specific question, however, here's a good website with PA cemetery laws. Hope this helps.

Hey Rachel, good work contacting findagrave admin. I worked to get a similar problem cleared up only to have someone recreate the problem. The admin NEED US to tell them where the problems are. In my relatively small circle of grave yards I have found two problems where the cemetery is close to a county line and people have created two cemeteries by the same name, one in each county. I wish people would do a little research before they create the new [wrong location] cemetery.
