I've enjoyed these pictures, and I have always like strolling through cemeteries. I don't find them morbid or eerie at all. I lived a block from Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond years ago, and it was my personal parkland. p.s. I hope you find out more about Andrew!
Eureka, Pat you have my ancestors on those tombstones, my grandfather's name was William Lees Ousey and he was related to Dobson's, and he belonged to St. James the less church. I always heard stories, but never confirmed them. My grandfather received clothing from Mr. Riddle the man who owned Man o'War and War Admiral back in the 50's because his wife was related to my grandfather. You have peaked my interest again in trying to link the families together. Your grandaugher is just to precious.
Ruth Ann, I actually photographed these stones for a relative of the Dobson family who lives out West. Maybe you are related. I will be back there again. Is your grandfather interred over there? If so throw me some names and I will see if they are there.
