  1. I'll have to remember to check these out when we're there next year.

     

    I copied the photo of the headstone into a photo editor and played around with it, trying to get a clearer view. It looks like it actually says MYRTLE not MIRTLE. That darker line on the second letter seems too slanted to be an I.

     

    I'm also not convinced of the second letter of the last name. While GIBSON seems the most likely, the spacing of the first three letters of the last name seem very wide. I keep wondering if the second letter is actually an A, but GABSON doesn't sound right, LOL.

     

    Has anyone looked at the other side of the other headstone that is laying on the ground? I know I would have the urge to pick it up and put it back where it belongs, LOL.

     

    I've always been fascinated by old tombstones. I grew up near a cemetery and spent lots of time in the 'old' section with stones that you can barely read.

     

    I hope someone does ask a local person about these and post what they discover, if anything.
