SPRING GROVE CEMETERY & ARBORATUM

We spent quite a bit of time at the Spring Grove Cemetery which is one of the five top cemeteries in the nation. It's mammoth and has over 300.,000 people buried there including several Civil War Generals, the author of "The Joy of Cooking", Kroger , of the grocery chain, and many other rich and famous people. The staff in the office were extremely helpful and proud of where they work. A lady named Grace Spencer found records for us and told us about all the beautiful things to see. We did find my great grandfathers sister, husband and family. They were on the side of a hill and their monument was hard to read,but the individual stones were easier.

Here's a quaint bridge over one of the streets.

Procter and Gamble are both buried there-here's Procter's monument.

Here's an interesting vault.

This is one of fourteen lakes.

It's a peaceful, pretty place.
