Howington Cemetery Nicholson GA 2010

I spent a lot of time in this cemetery when I was a kid. It may be the reason why I am so fascinated with cemeteries today. My Grandmother and Aunt would take me on their visits to put out flowers and I was allowed to roam around but not allowed to walk over anyone's grave or be loud and disruptive. I would walk through the rows and ask my grandmother if she knew the deceased. Sometimes she did and would tell me about them (or she may have made it up for all I know). I learned that even though they were no longer living, every one of these plots have a story beyond what was written in stone.

 Although this cemetery doesn't have any really unique or interesting stones, famous tombs or fascinating history it does have some personal history...including my great grandparents (below)...
