My Heritage

I spent today in northern Missouri with my dad at my grandparents' hometown (Princeton, MO).  We attended the funeral of my great aunt, who was 102 years old when she passed away.  We also got to do a little sightseeing of the old Hall homeplace, and some other notable sites...

This is my great grandparents' headstone in the Fairley (pronounced "Farley") cemetery just outside of Princeton, MO.  Interestingly, one of their daughters (Mae) shares the same headstone.  Great Grandpa Levi is the namesake of my oldest son.


This is the Fairley Baptist Church.  (Now closed.)  My Grandpa George was saved in this church, and served as the song leader.
