This tall weathered stone stands at St. Vincent's Cemetery, west of Riverside, IA. It marks the graves of Sebastian John Deatsch and his wife Mary. My Great,great,great Grandparents. The first Deatschs to come to America. Nearby are the graves of their son, John Deatsch & his wife Catherine Rummelhart. Further to the west, are the graves of their grandson, George and his wife Josephine Birrer, my Grandparents. And immediately to the north of George's grave are those of two of their sons and the sons' wives. Sim & Alice and Bernard and Mary. The wives were sisters (Thompsons). Bernard and Mary are my parents. St. Vincent's is a lovely cemetery, well cared for, and peaceful. It lies amidst the cornfields and has several large trees. Rest in Peace.Monday, May 25, 2009
