Oregon Visit

It just so happened that while Rachel was up visiting from Tennessee that Ben's Aunt was also up from Georgia. When realizing this, the mom's/aunt's decided to get as much of that side of the family together as possible. So, we all headed down to Hillsboro where they are all from.

Here is a picture with Debbie's parents and all of the sisters.
Here all all of the grand children/great-grandchildren they could get in the same place at the same time. I think they were only missing 3 or 4. Not bad!
Rachel requested that we go up to the Hesse Family Cemetery while we were down there. Here is a picture of a few of them with Ben's Grandparent's headstone. His Grandfather is still living, but the headstone was made when his Grandmother passed away in 2007.

Here is another family headstone in the cemetery. I can't remember the exact relation...I just know it is a Hesse. I'll need to ask about that!
It was a fun trip down and was nice to see everyone.

The name of the cemetery is Lewis Pioneer Cemetery near Farmington. There are many Hesses buried there, where there is a "family plot," as well as quite a few from the Putnam side.
