Each rich in heritage, area cemeteries are their own book telling the story of the harsh prairie life in the 1800s and 1900s in central Kansas. Not the scary places of movies or of tomorrow’s holiday, they are calm, quiet places of peace. Made from granite, marble, metal, limestone or even a simple board, these grave markers recount life from the days when one of every nine babies born died before its second birthday.
