Franconia Cemetery
This Cemetery is located on a high ridge of the Auglaize River, near where it meets the Blanchard River. You have to walk through a woods on a narrow path, cluttered with fallen trees, about 100-150 yards, before you come to where there used to be an ornate iron gate, boasting the name of the cemetery.

This is a full listing of the tombstones at Franconia, and all photos except for a few. However on Clairie Weiser's marker, there is "Winchester" inscribed at the base. So I am not sure if there is a connection with her and Dora Winchester.
This is a painting done by Henry Howe in 1846, named the "Home in the Wilderness". This log Cabin was a home, Tavern, Post Office, in Franconia.
