Old Church and cemetery

[hoser]

Found this out riding today in the Flint Hills. Any guesses where? Hoser

[Parkville Rider]

St. Joseph's Church and cemetery in the Flint Hills in Geary County, Kansas?

[PolishPrince]

AKA McDowell Creek Cemetery in Wingfield township Geary Co Kansas on McDowell Creek Rd one mile off I-70. Catholic church cornerstone shows 1910. No longer in use.

Hoser, too easy. I can read the name on the cemetery.

I cheated!!

St. Joseph's Cemetery, aka McDowell Creek Cemetery, is located in Sec. 34, Wingfield Twp., about a mile southeast of Interstate 70 on McDowell Creek Road. This cemetery was photographed March 23, 2007 by Sheryl McClure. St. Joseph's Catholic Church is located adjacent to the cemetery. Although no longer in use, the building is in good condition (see here). According to a plaque on the building, the church was built in 1910, and probably replaced an older structure, since burials occurred long before that date. The cemetery is still an active one, with several burials occurring in 2006.

Thanks, Hoser, (fun) Do I get a prize??

Ok Roger here's a slightly harder one...you have to identify it from the INside

Hint 1: It's not Amish

Hint 2: NE KS Romeo group has been VERY close to it on previous ride(s)

My guess was Cathedral of the Plains in Victoria, KS, but I guess it is wrong.

No fair doing an inside shot. You know I don't stop too much
Got me, come on guys give me some help!!

[swanee]

Actually I got it mixed up myself Now that's a senior moment when it's your own picture and you get it wrong

When I posted it was thinking it was at St Marys but actually it's the church at St Benedict. Wife is the one who took them.

[shoresr]

It even get weirder, I was telling my wife about the whole thing and she (having never been to St Mary's or seeing any of our pictures said "Oh, I bet it is St Mary's!!!

John "Hoser" L.

Hoser, I was heading north on Highway 59 today (you don't have to guess where this is) after leaveing the ROMEO Lunch at Two Sisters in Kincaid. Maybe I was a little nostalgic, but I passed this Santa on the tractor in a yard as I zooooommmed by I though of Hoser. We have all enjoyed his pictures for many years and I thought, when I saw that Santa Clause, John would stop and take a picture of that. I am always going too fast and don't take the time to really enjoy the many awesome things that riding a motorcycle gives up.

Hoser always shares his pictures with us and we get to go a lot of places through his lens. As I was fumbling with my camera today Swanee said "I wish Hoser was here, he would immortalize the closing the Two Sisters."

So this is MY THANKS TO HOSER, I stopped and took some pictures of Santa Clause.





A very Merry Christmas to "HOSER" and to you all.
