London City Cemetery - Dyche - London, Kentucky

The minister who married my mother and father, died in an airplane
crash, with one or two of his sons. I can't remember now how many boys
mom told me died in that accident. They're buried here in the London
cemetery.

This graveyard is probably the prettiest I've been to, barring the
Lexington City Cemetery. The monuments, and statues here are plentiful,
and just beautiful. The cemetery itself is kept clean, mowed and well tended.

The only bad thing I could see, was the fact that by far, there were
way too many young people buried here. Thinking about the other cemeteries I've
visited, I am roughly guessing that there are at least 50 to 70% more young folks
(people 18 and under) buried in the London Cemetery, than the others I've been to.

What does the penny on the graves signify? If you know, please email me!
