My visit to the cemetery was very interesting. When I first read the assignment sheet, I didn’t want to visit the cemetery. I thought it was scary to visit a stranger; it turned out to be very fascinating. When I got to Kewanee Cemetery I got the goosebumps all over my body; six crows following me around, watching every step I took. After a while, I was more intrigued about the headstones that I even forgot about the crows.

Edward headstone make me feel inspired, excited to write. When I read that his wife died just 9 days apart from him; I also share the same birthday with him. I right then knew I wanted to write about his life. His headstone provided me with so much information about him and family origins. Edward Tunnicliff was born in November 18, 1813 on Birmingham Warwickshire, England. He married Sarah Cooper at age 23, in St Peter’s Parish Church, located in Derby England. After two years of marriage their first child was born, Prudence Tunnicliff Palmer. One year later their second children was born, William Tunnicliff (1839). Their happiness didn’t last long, their …show more content…

I don’t know their reasons, but I supposed that they immigrated to Ohio, to give their children a better life.

Suddenly, in 1884 they moved to Zanesville, Ohio. After living in Zanesville for three years, Mary Cooper Tunnicliff Hebberd Holt was born (1847); the 6th children of the Tunnicliff. Time went by, and Ann Cooper Tunnicliff Miner (1849) arrives, becoming the 7th born in the Tunnicliff

    The two men took a short walk across the perfectly manicured lawn and stopped beneath a large white oak, the thick overhanging canopy of leaves shielding them from the afternoon sun. Perspiration stood out on Booker’s forehead, the damp patches under his arms staining his navy-blue shirt. But his discomfort was more a testament of his pent-up tension rather than a reaction to the mild spring weather. He’d taken the burden of worry to new dizzying heights, his concern for his friend physically churning his stomach. Tom was unpredictable, calm one moment, anxiety-ridden the next, and he’d had no idea how he would react during the burial service.
