A couple of weeks ago, Jan and I went to Spur to take some flowers down to Mom and the girls and while we were there, we were going to search for a grave for a girl on a genealogy website who wanted a picture of her grandparents graves. While we had the location on paper, we were not sure where to start. While we were at lunch, we struck a conversation with a girl who called the 'cemetary historian' Jack Alexander who agreed to meet us at the cemetary to direct us. I do love a small town.
Anyhoo...Jack met us and we found our grave in no time. Then he showed us something I'd never heard of. He removed divining rods from his truck and proceeded to show us that he could walk over a grave and if the rods crossed it was a female in the grave and if they went separate directions it was male. And it seemed to work everytime. It was pretty cool.
