in grandma's honor...(HFF)

The main gate at old Victor cemetery near Leland,IL. is one of the nicest ones I have ever seen.While exploring the old country cemetery,we came across the marker for Hupestill Fritz,who immigrated from the east in the 1780's.Her 4 sons fought under George Washington in the Revolutionary War.She also gave a drink of water to Gen. Washington on the day he captured the Hessian Army.Kind of amazing to find a story like this in a little country cemetery in the middle of nowhere...

 

Happy fence Friday everyone!
