Saturday's adventure took us about an hour and a half north to a beautiful part of rural Ohio. We were in search of John's great great great great great grandparent's grave. Yep, that's 5 greats!
Here's John showing the kids Peter and Betty Spraklen's grave.
While there we also saw Rev. Alfred & Abigail Spracklen's grave - John's great(x 4) uncle. We also found their son, George & his wife Rachel Spracklen, as well as their kids, one of which we had no knowledge about, so John will have fun trying to find out more about her.
See the Amish horse and buggy? I told you we were in rural Ohio. So rural in fact that two of us resorted to peeing in Sonic cups on this trip. It felt wrong to squat behind a tree in the cemetery, plus the 50 mph wind wouldn't have made it easy. Who said family history wouldn't be exciting?!
