Tombstone Tuesday: Another Placeway Tombstone

For this Tombstone Tuesday, I have posted two photographs of another Placeway tombstone in the Placeway/Whitcomb Cemetery. The top photograph is a closer view of the writing on the marker. Unfortunately, I cannot make out the first name on the stone. All I know is that this a tombstone for a son of a Joseph and Addie Placeway, and I do not have any further information on the family. I'll have to look and see if a cemetery transcription was done on this cemetery to see if this person's name is listed.

Tombstone Tuesday: A Sunken and Broken Tombstone

I'm posting a little bit later for this Tombstone Tuesday because I was busy earlier with school related business. The photographs above are of a tombstone in Placeway/Whitcomb Cemetery where it appears as though the grave maker has broken into two. The top appears to be in front the base, and it looks like it is sinking into the ground. I cannot read whose name is on the stone because it is sunken. I think I would have had to remove the grass from the stone, and as I did not want to risk destroying the stone, I chose not to try and uncover the name. I'll have to look and see if a transcription was done of this cemetery, and then I might be able to determine who is buried there. Of course, I won't be able to do so anytime soon because I am back at school, and I won't have very much time to research the cemetery.

Tombstone Tuesday: A Placeway Tombstone ...

For this Tombstone Tuesday, I am posting two photographs of a tombstone from the Placeway/Whitcomb Cemetery. This marker happens to be the tombstone of a Mercy Placeway, who has one of the last names that makes up part of the cemetery's name. In the photograph that is zoomed in more, you can seen that there is some small print listed below the inscription, but unfortunately, I cannot make out what it says. Other than that, the tombstone is in excellent condition.

Tombstone Tuesday: Elizabeth's Stone - Revisited

For this Tombstone Tuesday, I am posting two images of a tombstone that I had previously shared on this blog. As you can tell, this grave is for a woman named Elizabeth, but unfortunately I cannot make out who her husband was. I would have to do some research to figure out what her last name was. I posted two photographs so that you might be able to remember my first post on this stone. Enjoy!

Tombstone Tuesday: Another Oliver Family Stone

Last week, I posted two photographs of an Oliver family tombstone, and for this Tombstone Tuesday, I am also posting a picture of another Oliver family tombstone. Until I looked at the photograph, I did not realize that this tombstone was of another child from the same family. Of course, I'm not related to the family, so I do not have any further information on this family.

Tombstone Tuesday: An Oliver Family Tombstone

For this Tombstone Tuesday, I have included two photographs of a tombstone in the Placeway/Whitcomb Cemetery that I posted before. I added the second photograph so that one could be able to read the inscription. This tombstone memorializes the deaths of two children of the Oliver family who died in the 1850s. Unfortunately, I do not have anymore information on this family.

Tombstone Tuesday: Clarissa Hodgeman's Tombstone - Revisited

As you may or may not remember, a few months ago, I visited the Placeway/Whitcomb Cemetery and took pictures of the tombstones in the cemetery, but the pictures did not turn out very well. Well, earlier today, I visited the cemetery again, and I retook the pictures I took last time. Of course I also took more photographs, but I haven't finished photographing the whole cemetery. The last time that I posted a photograph of this tombstone, the picture quality was terrible, but as you can see in this picture, the quality is excellent. In the coming weeks, I will be reposting the photographs I have posted of the graves in Placeway/Whitcomb Cemetery, and hopefully, I'll be able to finish taking pictures of the graves in this cemetery. Enjoy!

Just A Little Note ...

I just want to let everyone know that I plan to post the next part to the story about the search for my ancestor's grave soon. I realize I haven't posted a part in months, but I've been busy lately with summer classes. Hopefully, I'll be able to post the next edition soon, and be able to rephotograph the Placeway/Whitcomb Cemetery. Please, stay tuned ...

(Also, as a side note, this post happens to be my 101st post for this blog! Thank you to all those who read this blog!)

Tombstone Tuesday: More Placeway/Whitcomb Stones

For this Tombstone Tuesday, I have posted another photograph of several small tombstones in Placeway/Whitcomb Cemetery. Unfortunately, I do not remember if there was any writing on the stones, so I cannot write anymore about these stones at the moment. Of course, I do plan to return to the cemetery, but I don't when I will. I'll try to find sometime in the next few weeks. Enjoy!

Tombstone Tuesday: A Square Stone

For this Tombstone Tuesday, I have posted another photograph of a grave in the Placeway/Whitcomb Cemetery. Unfortunately, the quality of the picture is terrible, and I cannot remember the name of the person buried there. (The tombstone was in excellent condition, by the way. I could read the name, but it did not come out in the picture.) Eventually, I will return to the cemetery, and I will retake pictures of the stones. I just have not had any time at the moment. Stay tuned for more, though ...
