Remembering My Family

Mountain View Cemetery
North St - West Hazleton, PA
From time to time, my daily walk with little Harvey takes a detour through the cemetery to visit Grandma and Grandpa.  We've walked through just about every part of the cemetery over the past eight years, and I've found quite a few other family members in the process.  They're not all buried in the same section, so it's very likely that there are others that I haven't found yet.

I'm going to look through some of my old photos and do a little research so that I can write more about each of them later on.  For right now, here are the photos of the headstones that I was able to find.

Great-Great Grandfather - Frederick Schweitzer

Great-Great Grandmother - Ida Rohde Schweitzer

Great Grandfather - William J. Schweitzer
Great Grandmother - Margaret Letcher Schweitzer (Granny)

Grandpa's military headstone.  He enlisted in the US Navy five days before the end of the Korean War.  He wasn't sent into combat and was nowhere near Korea, but they still identified him as a Korean War veteran.
