A Visit to My Grandfather's Grave


I never knew my grandfather, but recently I went to visit his grave site for the first time. I certainly never expected to find a bare patch of grass between the other markers in the row. I confirmed my findings with a very helpful young man in the office. When my grandfather died in 1945, two plots were purchased in the Masonic Cemetery in Burnaby, BC.  No marker was ever erected, and in 1955, the second plot was sold back to the cemetery. 

It is no wonder that I find genealogy fascinating - the mysteries and discoveries are endless!
