Retracing my Grandmother Footsteps

During our visit in the November 2013, the sky was a vibrant blue,and the multicolored were still on many trees.
It was thrilling as I shared with my own two grandchildren the story of my grandmother visiting in this very church.

It was wonderful to have Peggy Farquhar with us, the Farquhar family history specialist to show us around and share some of the history of the community with us. Soon my grandson's were looking for the old headstones in the cemetery, and asking questions about ancestors and their history.  

Allan and his John Farquhar  his brother are now buried here, along with many other of the Farquhar family.
Both men gave quiet service to the church and community. They and others liked them helped to keep the church and the cemetery well groomed.  Now its left to each  generation to CARE for those who have gone on.

And Its up to us to teaching the upcoming generation to their  appreciate roots and those who sacrificed for                           the coming generations.
