Beautiful, Tranquil, Secluded Cemetery in St. Maries…read more SITREP Also known as "St. Maries Cemetary (sic)", this is the main cemetery for the Idaho community of St. Maries and has been around for almost two (2) centuries. My mother's family has had a plot here for more than a century. There is an extensive family presence going back five (5) generations, and so coming here has become a tradition. THE SETUP In the middle of St. Maries, ID, this wooded, secluded area leaves this cemetery as a tranquil sanctuary. At this point, I've been to this cemetery on a number of occasions, *First as a child to visit the gravesite of my grandfather Curly who passed in the 50s before I was born, *But also my two oldest uncles (WWII servicemen) who passed in the 40s. But more "recently", my aunt Bobbie (Barbara) who passed away from cancer in the early 80s. *My grandmother Ruth followed from natural causes in the late 80s *Uncle Bud (Meredith) and Aunt Buff (Elizabeth) were taken from us in the 2000s *And Uncle Jack most recently just a couple years back. The plot is filling up with family that I knew personally, and so the incentive to come pay my respects and visit becomes more frequent. SANCTUARY Surprisingly, we barely ever see anyone else here at Woodlawn when we are here - or I alone - are visiting. I imagine that it contributes to my meditative mood when I am here, safely removed from loud distractions. I am glad there is a beautiful, serene place for my family members to have a "final rest." THE LOWDOWN A lovely environment to engage in some family reflection with our family's legacy.
