The Maple Hill Cemetery Stroll is one of my favorite reenactment events, as it's a time that thousands of Huntsville residents come out to see local historical figures "come alive".  As one of the sixty or so costumed character actors at this year's stroll, I thought it would be fun to share a little bit about my character - Mrs. Bessie K. Russell - and walk you through a day at the stroll.
