My people were laid to rest at the old Union Church Grave Yard,,, west of Maysville
We didn’t make it to that cemetery on this trip – but perhaps next time we are in the area. It was beautiful there, simply beautiful!
It is so absolutely helpful, Phyllis, when you transcribe for us what’s written on a tombstone. First, maybe it’s not so legible. Second, even if it is … sort of … your words draw us into the picture. Thank you for taking the additional time to perfect what you do, which is already beautiful.
Thank you, Colette! I love bringing to life someone’s story!
In the top pic of the entire tombstone, what do you think that bas relief i at the bottom? It’s a man, probably leaning over a table type something is all I can see.
I believe it is a woman, holding a child in her left arm, and holding an inverted torch in her right hand, which represents death.
