Amazing! Surely a testament to the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words “
Great photography – you really feel the peace and beauty. Reminds me of Mount Auburn Cemetery. What’s the picturesque style?
Hey there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after
reading through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
Anyways, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be bookmarking and checking back often!
I visited Forest Dale cemetery in mid October to pay my respects to my cousin Lydia Hawrkridge Connor and great uncle John Lloyd Hawkridge. Found a Hawkridge headstone not sure it was the right one the cemetery is so massive. This cemetery is cared for beautifully.and guarded well. My grandmother was born in Malden in 1897. Nice town and people.
