On
a trip to Mir in 1922, Fanny Gorodeisky and her mother,
visit the grave of Fanny's grandfather (?) Aharon
Leib Gorodeisky in the old Mir cemetery. The gravestone
states that here lies Aharon Leib Yosef ben Menachem
Gershon, died the 14th of Iyar 5643 (1883).

This
excellent photo taken in the cemetery in Mir shows
all the vegetation and several of the old tombstones.
It looks to be the same era as the cemetery photos
on Mir photos page 2. This
is the same area that is now enclosed by wall and
gate Mir 2001.
To read
about how the cemetery was reclamed, see Recent views of Mir
Dovid Dancig at the tombstone of his mother Brocha. Her father's name was Dovid.
(it is likely that David Dancig was named for his grandfather and his daughter was named for her grandmother Brocha.) See photos of his family and his wife's family.
