Week 22 Prompt: At the Cemetery

This week’s 52 Ancestors theme is “At the Cemetery.” I haven’t written about my Schwartz family in awhile, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to do so.

Johann Schwartz and Margaretha Kremer are my second great-grandparents on my dad’s side. They, along with some of their children, are buried in Mt. Olivet in Aurora, Illinois. There is a large family stone, and each person has their own marker. Below are the photos of the markers I took back in 2011.
