The Graveyard Rabbit of B-N, IL

http://bn-gr.blogspot.com/

This blog is for my membership in The Association of Graveyard Rabbits. What in the world is the Association of Graveyard Rabbits? It's a new group formed by Terry Thornton to promote "the historical importance of cemeteries, grave markers, and the family history to be learned from a study of burial customs, burying grounds, and tombstones."

It's quite an interesting prospect and I'm honored to have been invited to participate. This blog will focus on the Bloomington-Normal-area in McLean County, Illinois, which is where I currently reside.
