History in Our Neighborhood
This morning, I walked on the Prairie Path near our home. This former rail line is now a quiet place to take a hike or bicycle ride. The path goes through the Concordia Cemetery, where I noticed a section with old gravestones standing very close together. Upon reading the dates on the headstones, which were mostly in the 1860s and 1870s, it was clear that infants are buried here.Today we are fortunate to have medical care that has greatly reduced childhood diseases.
