FAMILY HISTORY

It looks like Alvin use to only have a grave marker and somebody later got him a head stone that they placed behind it. That is the big one up top.

Hannah Peel is buried right next to her daughter on the right side. Anna's headstone is beautiful.

Lately I have been having a huge desire to learn more about my ancestors and do my own family history. Basically I have been thinking about what my posterity will remember me as and what will they read about me. I'm in charge of our Relief Society meeting this week and it is on Family History so I have been studing up alot about mine. As I was doing this I was reading about my great-great-great-great grandmother Hannah Rhodes Peel. Her husband John Peel died on the plains in the Martin Handcart Company. Grandma Peel and her two girls Anna Naomi and Marintha my great-great-great grandma made it the Salt Lake Valley together. While I was reading her Biography I discovered that she and her daughter were buried in Logan UT cemetry.! I was excited to find that sense I live here. So Keplar, Kyly, and I went up to the cemetry today and it took us 2 hours and alot of help from my mom, and the ground workers we FINALLY found it. Grandma Peel doesn't have any gravemarker at all but her daughter Anna Naomi and her husband Alvin Crockett were buried by her. It was sooo great to actually see a piece of living history and ancestors so close to me. WE are going to go back up and put flowers there, it looked like no has been to see their graves in alot of years. :)
