This morning the family trekked out to the Michael Israel burial ground. Michael was a revolutionary war soldier in the North Carolina Militia. The burial ground is on private property, and from what I understand, if not for the efforts of some family members it would have been obliterated long ago. Like many old cemeterys, the original markers were field stones. The modern stones placed there now are all fairly new. In fact that is part of the reason we went this morning, to dedicate a new stone.
This evening we had our finale dinner event. It's mostly about the fellowship. This year we had a southern fried chicken dinner with sweet potatoes, green beans, coleslaw, cornbread, biscuits, berry and peach cobblers and iced tea. The Moose Cafe did a great job with the food. It was yummy. After eating we shared family stories. It was a very enjoyable evening.
