Tombstone Tuesday - Some are just too cool not to share
This monument is in the same cemetery as my Wersel/Burch family - The Maineville Cemetery in Maineville, OH. We wandered around because I saw headstones that appeared to be older, and indeed, many around this stone date to the 1830s. I was fascinated by the uniqueness of the headstones nearby; many of them had interesting inscriptions:
If you're ever near Maineville, I recommend a stroll through this very interesting cemetery.
So what did the inscriptions say? The modern ones can be pretty cool, but the older tombstones are fascinating as well. With some of them being a century old, the words or drawings carved on the stone create a picture of a time before ours.
