Photo Monument: A Grave Photo Essay

Rewind

Fontaine Grave - Highland Park Cemetery

Last week, over on The Graveyard Rabbit Online Journal, Denise shared an article on managing our blog archives. I use labels [tags] for my posts and also have installed the widget "Link Within" which does a good job of highlighting older posts at the bottom of new posts. Other than that I don't know of much else I can do. I chose not to use a surname in my label directory so I wouldn't have label overload. If you notice, most of mine will fit into a location label. Since I photograph cemeteries all over I felt it best to group them in this manner and then include a few other categories [labels].

Tombstone Photo of the Week

St. Aloysius Cemetery

Frances Rohrer

Frances Elizabeth

Daughter of

John G & Josephine Rohrer

Born: 12/17/1888

Died: 3/21/1902

Buried: Mt. Olive Cemetery, Pittsburg, Crawford Co., KS

I could only find a Francis Rohrer, age 11, born Dec. 1888, in the household of Peter Rodenberger household on N. Grand Avenue in the 1900 Pittsburg, Crawford Co., KS Federal census. Her mother Josephine is on the same base and she died in 1936. It's possible the father is buried close by and I missed him.

George & Eva Westerlin

George and Eva rest in the Highland Park Cemetery in Pittsburg, KS. They are the children of Louie & Lizzie.
