CASS COUNTY - PHOTO OF THE WEEK

     From one Pleasant drive through the county to another. Have you been down the road where this cemetery is located? It's been here longer than you have and probably longer than your descendants. This cemetery was established the same year Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address during the civil war. I wonder what the people of Cass County were doing that day and how long it was before they heard of the historic speech? Some were no doubt helping out at this cemetery and are now buried within its peaceful boundaries. Can you name it and name the road on which it sits?
