The graves of my ancestors

In the summer of 1996, Elizabeth and I visited Rosedale Cemetery in Orange, New Jersey, to see my mother's grave and those of other members of her family.  The Hall family plot was purchased by my great-grandfather, Henry Harrington Hall, about 1900. (Click on the thuimbnails to enlarge)
