A perk of having lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins is the opportunity to see family often. There's always an occasion to get together. I may not always be able to go, but I try when I can to stay in touch.
This particular event was a funeral of one of my favorite aunts. It gave my sister and I the perfect setting to visit several gravesites from long ago. I'm documenting the sites here in case my children were ever interested in learning where to find them.

My mom is burried in Union City, OK at St. Joseph's Cemetery, as are her parents Vima and Benno.
My dad is burried in Kingfisher, OK, on the land he farmed as a boy. Our clan is the only one allows on this side of the road until the other side is completely full. Dad's ashes are right between his parents, Teresa and Joseph. His marker is on the back side of their tombstone.
Between the two cities in Okarche at Holy Trinity Cemetary, you'll find my great-grand parents, Henry and Dora. This is the Henry who emmigrated from Weseke, Germany.
My grandmother's (Teresa Shaefer Mueggenborg) parents are also burried there.
So now you know where to find your ancestors if that's something you decide to do!
