A Look Back at the Village Cemetery

The most common question I receive about my postings of archival photos is the physical location of the subject in the photo. In most cases I rely on notes written on the back of the photos or comments from folks who read the blog, but in this case I walked around till I spotted the matching location at Village Cemetery.

The first photo was taken on July 3, 2016 of a family plot on the hill overlooking the pond. I was looking for the tall monument that I had seen in one of the scanned plate glass negatives taken over 100 years ago (second photo). When I found a match I attempted to take a photo with the same perspective.
