In July of 2017, my maternal grandmother passed away in Wayland IA. So I rented a car and made the drive to her funeral, stopping at graves of Abraham Lincoln and Justice Miller on the way there. Keokuk is in the southeast corner of Iowa - or as my cousin put it, "Iowa and Missouri once had a fight over which one would get Keokuk, and Iowa lost." I was meeting up with family in Mount Pleasant, some 45 minutes north of Keokuk, so I had a narrow window in which to locate Miller's grave and meet up with my family. To say Oakland Cemetery is disorganized is selling it way short. I was very lucky that I located his stone as quickly as I did - I could have been there a very long time.

On the way back, I stopped at the grave of David Davis, but something odd was happening with my camera and the pictures aren't really usable. I will have to make another journey out that way.
