THE GRAVEYARD ELEGY MEMORIES OF ABILENEwas inspired by cemetery visits and the poem “Elegy in a Country Courtyard” by Thomas Gray.It is largely a photographic journey of Abilene in four parts:Part I. The Protestant Cemetery, Early Abilene History, Personal MemoriesPart II. The Catholic Cemetery and Growing Up MemoriesPart III. Select Abilene Businesses and Victorians, MemoriesPart IV. Farming. Memories and ChangesThe author borrows at times from his book “The Farm,” Trafford Publishing, 2010. Although thisbook includes small vignettes of Abilene History, persons, places and events, its essence is Curran’srecollection of growing up in the 1940s and 1950s.
