Dear diary...

Yesterday Roy and I rode up to historic Fairhill Burial Ground, final resting place of noted abolitionists Lucretia Mott, Robert Purvis, Harriet Forten Purvis, and others. It's a Hicksite Quaker cemetery and by sheerest coincidence the night before our journey I discovered a reference to some ancestors being buried there. I was looking for something that might help me date this photo of my great-great-great grandmother but stumbled on the reference to Fairhill instead.
