Growing up and as a young lady I was always a bit obsessed with cemeteries and the monuments there. Walking around them , reading the headstones and some even had glass encased photos of the person there. I would try to imagine the stories behind their lives, etc.
While on FB I found this story about a 2 yr old little girl encased in a glass coffin found under a house and of course that total intrigued me. People must have loved this child very much to have buried her in this manner. Like a little princess in a fairy tale.
Do you share this interest with me?
i keep trying to make this link work but doesn't seem to want to
Investigators are finally able to identify the body of a young San Francisco girl who died 140 years ago and whose death has been a mystery.

I read this story the other day and was so intrigued by it, apparently it used to be a cemetery and all the other graves were moved but she was forgotten it always makes me heart sink hearing buildings being put over cemeteries.

well it has to happen i guess. people being born and dying daily for centuries. think about it. i mean where would the millions alive live if that wasn't a fact? anyway, so much for being remembered. only the famous live in minds forever

@chrissbergstrom yes but eventually most that actually knew about them don't pass it on. luckily your family does but it is fast becoming a lost art. most youth don't even listen to my tales about their ancestors any more. the world especially here in the USA is becoming too fast paced. i bet my great, great grands will know nothing about me

I don't but it is fascinating what you have told us here brandy.
Yes they must have adored that child.
Those glass coffins look so pretty.

it really is quite pretty and must have cost quite a fortune back then.

It sounds a bit creepy to me. I don't share that interest. I do like going into old cemeteries and reading headstones. I had that opportunity when I was in the navy on boot leave. We went to Lancaster, PA and I went into one cemetery and read a lot of headstones from before and around the Revolutionary War time. That was fascinating.
