Filmore Glen

We went to Filmore Glen for some hiking, socializing, and picnicking. Here's some pictures from our afternoon there.


Swimming Hole (it will be when they slide the steel plates into the dam.


Stairway


Abandoned Cemetery


This cemetery has dates back to the revolutionary war and civil war. We went around reading the inscriptions on the stones. Here are some of our favourite ones.

My Children dear
Assemble here
A Mothers grave to see
Not long ago
I dwelt with you
And soon you'll dwell with me


Depart my friends
Dry up your tears
I must lie here till Christ
appears



My day is out
My race is run
My work in Christ
Completely done


How peaceful is the closing scene
Where virtue yields her breath
How sweetly beams the smile serene
Upon the check of death
