Carbon Dioxide Headed Your Way

More coal barges being pushed down the Cumberland River and more Carbon Dioxide! Seen today, Memorial Day, on my bike ride.

Tugboat, Speedboat, Train

On the greenways Friday I snapped these three passing vehicles either on or going over the river. At least there are no cars on the greenway!

Louis DeMoss Stone Dedication

Today Kevin and I attended the dedication of a new large marble slab memorial on the grave of Abraham Louis DeMoss. It was the results of a long effort by Sanford Payton whom I helped collect information about the cemetery I have been calling "Providence Church Cemetery" and he is now calling "DeMoss Cemetery," since Louis DeMoss the founder of Bellevue is buried there plus a few other DeMosses along with other family names. He may be more correct than me since it appears that the Providence Church was located a mile or more away from this cemetery. The service was well done.

The local chapter of Sons of the Revolution, SAR,

participated in costume with flags & musket salute

Louis fought in the Revolutionary War in the same Wilkes County NC regiment as 

my 5 Great Grandfather, Francis Hardgrave
