The third of Marilynn Erickson's three stories about her family history. She wrote each story “to check out the verbal family stories and connect them to documentation and photos.”

This third story is about Scandal in the Graveyard.

While checking out cemeteries where various relatives are buried, my mother, sister and I traveled to Bethlehem Lutheran Church outside Ellsworth, Pierce County, Wisconsin... As we wandered around, taking photos of each relative’s headstone, my mother commented that a row of three markers had reportedly created a scandal among the members of the congregation. It sounded like another fun family story to investigate.
