Hillsdale Cemetery
This is a portfolio of
Petrolia Cemetery pics that
display the beauty of the Hillsdale
Cemetery. By today's culture
in the West, spending time at the
cemetery is kind of gross. However up
until just a few generations ago
families spent Sunday afternoons and
special occasions at the cemetery,
usually near the family plots. In
Petrolia the Town Band performed and
practiced at the cemetery on
Sundays. As can be seen by the pics
below it is a shame that more
of the living don't spend more time out
there.
