I was really touched by this story, and I would have loved to meet Dr. Esther Allen and thank her for what she did 🙏
I truly believe everyone deserves a proper burial and this is why I restore gravestones without looking at names and carving first: they deserve care regardless of who they were and what they did of their life 🕊️
If you want to know more about Dr. Allen, read more about her story in the book I helped write, “Woodland cemetery in Des Moines” (link in bio).
