The churches old foundation

Today was a second clean up day at Mt. of Blessings as we are making final preparations for camp which starts this Friday. The Tolleys and us spent the day up there. It was a great day together. On the way home we took them to Alvira. The Tolleys love history so they liked the trip. Alvira was a town at one time. During the world wars, the government bought out the home owners and turned it into an ammunition dump. There are still bunkers there, some of which you can go into. Scattered throughout it all is very old grave yards where soldiers from wars starting with the Revolutionary War are buried. Here are some pics to prove it. It was neat. The foundation was from the church that once stood in front of the cemetery.
