History Continues...

The day of marker hunting was still young and next on the list was Steinauer.   I didn't actually have to go into Steinauer, but enjoyed reading its heritage. After mom and I discussed the fact that the Slagle's were from Tecumseh she discovered I was also headed to her family's stomping grounds, Burchard, NE.  Her grandfather had a farm north west of Burchard and he is also buried in a cemetery further north west of Burchard.  Without any idea of what I was looking for or going to find I headed out to find the cemetery.  What would find out on these white rock roads? I prayed that I might find the cemetery.  I never met my great grandparents on my mother's side, they died before I was born.  Mom hadn't been down here since he died in 1981 either.  God cares even in the little things.  I found it! It was just a small little cemetery without a directory.  I enjoyed tramping around looking for my family name.  Check out this poor lady's name...whew,
