I was out helping with Find a Grave picture taking when I came across a tombstone that had a name of Gunter, a presumed ancestor of mine. I went to look at it closer and what a find this would have been had it been my line. Look at how this family did their tombstone! Most children are buried close by. A blooming family group sheet on the front and back. I just had to take the pictures to show you all. I love it!
I just LOVE headstones like this. They are rare, but out there just waiting to be found. We have quite a few here in the county that tell the Shire in England where the interred was born. Jump the pond via the headstone. Wahhooo!!
ReplyDeleteI can see the connection to Lori here.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I don't think that I have ever seen any tombstones like this, I must keep my eyes open for them the next time.
