This is the tombstone of Samantha (Sprague) Baker, my great-great-great grandmother. It is in the Pee-Dee Cemetery, just east of Iowa City, Iowa. She died in 1865.One of my favorite things to do on vacation is visit cemeteries. My husband and I have been able to locate the graves of many of our ancestors. I hope to be able to make a trip to Warren County, Ohio this summer so I can visit the grave of my Revolutionary War ancestor (my 4th great grandfather) and his family in Fort Ancient, Ohio. He and his family settled in the area in the very early 1800's.
One of my most emotional cemetery finds was the grave of my father's grandmother and great grandmother in St.Joseph, MO.
