MY LITTLE TOWN

Visiting the town I grew up in, Vermillion SD. I left in 1961 and discovered the place hasn't changed a whole lot in all those years! It was fun to find the house I was raised in; it also hasn't changed!

We'll be catching up with a few of my high school classmates and I'll order a marker for my mom & dad to be placed in the family plot at the Meckling Cemetery -- probably a good thing when future generations want to discover their roots.  That cemetery houses many of my ancestors back to the mid-1800s; I wouldn't be surprised if 90% of the people buried there are 'family'.

 Here's the house on West Cedar St. in Vermillion; my folks bought it in 1944 and added on to it around 1950. Cozy and quaint!
