I am a decedent of Jacob Stroud, founder of Stroudsburg, PA so I qualify for DAR.
I think the oddest story is one my uncle told when we were at a cemetery looking at ancestor graves in Wisconsin. My grandma and her father both got sick one year. G.Grandfather died. They dug 2 graves one for G.grandfather and one for her right next to his. She lived another 50 years but they kept the grave open all winter in case she died.
