9/10/2015

The last story of the 2014 Cemetery Walk is that of James Hayes' father, who traveled to the US from Ireland in 1854. His was one of several Irish families in an otherwise German settlement.  

You may have noticed the tree lording over our presenter last year; read Mr. Hayes story to hear a little bit about this unique tree.
