I had to go to Reading for work yesterday.  We finished up rather quickly (amazing how quickly a problem can be fixed when you can see what the heck they are talking about).  Since I had no other plans for the afternoon (and no more billable work), I took the back roads home.  As I was heading out of Berks county, I found myself in a familiar area, so I stopped in at a church I knew (St. Paul's UCC in Amityville, PA) and visited the graves of my great-great-great grandparents.

I took a photo of the head stones with my Clie: ( head stones (80K) )

One of these days I need to get out there and do a rubbing so that I can try and read the quotes at the bottom.

I wandered around the graveyard for a bit, trying to find a third grave which is supposed to be there, but which I've never found.  I love old grave yards, and this is one of my favorites because of the personal connections - I suspect if I knew more of names of the family from that time period I'd be able to find more of their graves.  I just read that the graves there go back to the 1740s and predate the first church built there.
