Stroll through Washington Cemetery

This small cemetery along Western Avenue caught my eye especially as the forsythias began to bloom and I realized the cemetery was embraced all around by these beautiful yellow blossoms.  A little research shows this private cemetery is called Washington Cemetery and was established in 1839. It was quite a lovely stroll in the early morning light on a recent spring day.

I had seen the Cressy memorial and nodded a bit to myself since Cressy’s Beach is in the vicinity.  Built to honor Eva Cressy Pebworth, who died a mere two years or so after her marriage to Richard Russell Pebworth.  I wonder if forsythia were a favorite of Eva’s.
