After grandpa died in 1950, Anna had an urn placed on his grave site. This picture, taken by my dad, shows the urn at the cemetery. It is behind the flag. The big stone to the left of the urn is for grandpa's father David. The stone in the back is for Lucy Horrigan Crotty Smith. Sometime in the late 1980's the cemetery informed Anna that the urn needed to be removed. My dad put it in her back shed and it sat there for awhile. She later asked me if I wanted it. We painted it white and each summer we place it on our front walk. This year we have geraniums in it.

Geraniums....what an appropriate choice! I remember going to the cemetery as a kid and seeing it with 'orangish' geraniums in it. I think Anna bought those and put them in every year.
It is a shame that it cannot be at the gravesite anymore, but how lucky for you that you got it!!
