Tombstone Tuesday

Civil War Sergeant Francis Blair Pearsol
B 13 APR 1832
D 17 FEB 1899
Buried at Lobbs Run Cemetery, West Elizabeth, Pennsylvania

Many, many thanks to the Find A Grave user who found this stone for me. I searched the cemetery for it once this February, but was unable to find it before having to flee an incoming snow storm. I hope to get a marker for this stone to note Sgt Pearsol's service for Pennsylvania in the Civil War.

Francis Blair Pearson was my 2nd great grandfather.

Tombstone Tuesday, without the Tombstone

I don't have a photo of my grandmother's tombstone, and really, I don't want one. I can really only connect tombstones with family who passed before I was born.

My grandmother died 19 years ago today, a week before my 11th birthday.

Rather than a tombstone photo, her is her senior yearbook photo.

And a photo of her the way I remember her (to be added when I scan the photo, sorry).
