[name_f]Thelma[/name_f] and [name_f]Zelma[/name_f] are my great aunts. Very outdated.

I was at a historic cemetery this summer and saw twins buried side by side. One died at birth, the other died in her nineties! [name_f]Lora[/name_f] and [name_f]Lura[/name_f]…their middles matched too, but I can’t remember.

  • I was able to find the graves online:
