Fri., September 27, 2002 - Merilyn brought Raymond I. here at noon. We spent the afternoon playing Kings Wild. Tom came after work for Raymond.
Sat., September 28, 2002 - This morning Mary, Mitch, Anna, Per (Mar's friend from Denmark), Nancy & I drove out to the Danish Cemetery 7 miles north of Lincoln. A small but well kept cemetery -- was started in 1890. I didn't wander around much --- was cold, windy & sprinkled a little. Nancy & I had dinner (at noon) at Popeye's. She brought me to the apt. & then went home. I slept most of the afternoon.
Sun., September 29, 2002 - Nancy came in p.m. She fixed grilled cheese sandwiches. I showered & then Nancy went home.
I remember the trip to the Danish Cemetery. As I recall we really had no reason to go, other than we all had driven by it numerous times whenever we were on Hwy. 77 and were curious. And I can confirm that it was cloudy and drizzly.
A quick look online shows the cemetery has about 250 burials, the most recent in 2018. The earliest year of birth I found for someone buried there is 1829. And as one might guess, there are several people buried there that were born in Denmark.
