The “Grapevine”
Here is a picture of a grapevine that I know has been there at least 50 years.
I played on this grapevine when I was a kid and I still see kids climbing and
swinging
on its vines as late as Memorial Day Sunday of this year (2005).
I bet every kid that visited Power's Chapel will recognize these grapevines
and recall fond memories of climbing and swinging on them.
Also visible in this picture is the back of Power's Chapel, the metal frames
where tables are set up
for the big Memorial Day celebration every year and the cemetery
headstones way across the street in front of Power's Chapel.

It is believed John Weldon Pearson is the person most responsible for putting
this list together. Although, severely injured in a farm accident, for years
John Pearson played a big part in the upkeep and improvements to the Power's
Chapel & Cemetery and he was well known for being the area's local historian.
John had a lot of family and historical files that he collected over the years
and these were deposited with the Rosebud Library.
