power was out from two stop lights to the north. I had only 5 meters that had no power. it was restored in one hour. basil had a lot more im sure. so did mike. the digital meters are what needs to be reread when the power comes back on.

yes but not much, time was of the essence as I had rain to contend with. so I did take one that was closest to the northern fence. I will edit them and post from my phone. both rebel vets, flags flying, dates are visible.
 
I find your photo fascinating :wave2

Around east central Illinois, one rarely sees a Confederate flag at a tombstone.

Recent.Indian river county didn't exist until 1925.Oslo cemetery predates that.1874 is when the Norwegians came.Axl Hallstrom and helseth patriarch changed the settlement name to Oslo after the capital of Norway

What a history Florida has!

I've a couple of books on ghost towns in Illinois........meaning towns that have be depopulated over time. For some of those former towns, all that is left is a handful of tombstones.
 
Florida wasn't settled really until the early 20th century with the rr and cars.the car did the most changing to my state.all that is left of Oslo is a few homes and the cemetery and the packing house
