ACGS Headstone Display

Aroostook County Headstone Display
Aroostook County Headstone Display

The plan is that this display will encourage those members who haven’t explored cemeteries to do that. This variety of photos is from members’ personal collections plus some which are interesting because of age, the material that they are made of, shape, design, artistic qualities, beauty, uniqueness, or historical significance.

Headstones impart knowledge; we might learn who the husband/wife or children are of the deceased. I have learned who a distant cousin married due to her burial in his family plot. We also can find military affiliations and fraternal organization membership along with other possible clues.

Get out and walk that cemetery that you often drive by, you might be surprised to find someone’s name who is familiar to you.
