A new view of Tyler Hull from the sidewalk.
This gentleman who sits "Lincolnlike" in the Dimondale Cemetery looks much more visable since a lot of recent tree cutting throughout the cemetery.  He was a prominent pioneer citizen in this area in the mid-1800's.  The base says he was an educator, physician and legislator.  When we moved here it was popular for teenagers, after dark, to climb up and sit on Dr. Hull's lap!  To prove their success they would leave a pop or beer can on the doctor's knee.  Cynthia, Sharon and Don have never confessed doing it so I think they showed proper respect to the deceased.  Any current resident who has lived 30 days in Windsor Township at the time of their death has a free cemetery lot .  That is most unusual.  They all make very good neighbors for us.
