The book is a conversation starter from the moment one spots it's resemblance to a granite grave stone, and pages through to see unique stories, special interest photos, documents and drawings.(over 100) Written by a cemetery sexton, it is historic, humorous, helpful and a little off beat.
FIRE-FLU AND WAR is a chapter based on the year 1918 when a national epidemic raged, the country was at war,(WW1) and a catastrophic fire burned much of northern Minnesota, burning many homes, much timber, and killing at least 550 people. The chapter tells of people coping with courage, determination and sometimes even humor. Many will identify with this chapter, as we Americans have faced all three of these threats in recent years. Other chapters include discussion of changes in attitude toward death, how children view death, death ceremonies, mistakes which happen, human relationships and dealing with grief.
The book has received many great reviews and comments:
"A great read", "Well written", "Couldn't put it down", "I laughed and cried at the sametime","I'm buying another to give away"
Don't miss this opportunity to ponder a universal human experience while enjoying some fascinating stories and illustrations.
