Memories from my father
Submitted by Hallicrafters on Tue, 12/05/2017 - 3:34pm.
My father once told me that when he was a teenager , he and his brothers dug graves at the Cascade Michigan cemetery. In the winter, they used a pickax to break the top layer of frozen soil, then dug the rest. That was in the early 1930s. He’s buried there now.
Service for one??

Dug by hand yet? And in frozen ground. That would put a person under for sure.
