Tombstone Tuesday -- POOLE (2 generations) -- Washington, D.C.

Rock Creek Cemetery, Washington, D.C. is where two generations of my Poole line are buried.  I made a trip in May 2001, and my photos didn't come out, so my cousin David, of Maryland, went in December 2001 and took these pictures. Thank you David, my 3rd cousin, once removed.
