Today’s video, https://youtu.be/rzBtVULzyFg, is Part 3 of my visit to the Village Cemetery in Colchester, VT. The cemetery is located behind 3 buildings including Burnham Library. I had no sooner stated I’d not seen any Burnhams yet when POOF! I found a Burnham grave. Timing is everything!
Also in this video, I found the grave of W. W. Thompson. When I read the description of this graveyard in Part 1, I’d stated that Mr. Thompson had lost 9 children to diphtheria during a diphtheria epidemic. Sure enough, there are so many little tombstones. <heavy sigh> (If you’ve watched nearly any of my cemetery videos, you have heard me say how no parent should bury their child. It’s heartbreaking.)
