Up Or Down

We all had made it to two other paths the left went up and the right led down.We were also at the very top if the hill.We had a great view.We were also very close Nebraska.From where we were standing we could see Nebraska.I asked them if they wanted to go right.They said to go see what was on the left first.I told them it just was a strait trail that led up and down to a different hill.I said let's go to the right.We started walking down.When I say down I mean down.Tammy and I made it to the bottom and the trail was doing curves to the right to the left three times.Tammy and I did the curves on the trail.I shouted,hey I see a gate with a grave in it.The grave was tall, shiny,a little dirty,and had writing on the front and the two sides.I started running to it.We found the grave!!Tammy and I stood on each side if it and took a picture I was in the camouflage shirt and Tammy was in the yellow high socks.The first bride's name us Rosaline Menard.She was born 1838 and died 1865.She died at the age of 27 when she died.She married Edouard Fontainebleau and had four children.Her parents are Joseph Menard and Desanges Stebenne.They were Henri Clovis Fontaine,Louis Octave Napoleon Fontaine,Solyme Fontaine,and Ulrich Fontainebleau.Before she died She had a not her child named William Fontaine.
