Storytelling gravestones #28
Although I do not consider myself any kind of authority on cemeteries or gravestones/headstones and the traditions incorporated into their design, I have noticed that in the region surrounding Montrose, Colorado it is somewhat customary to record an abbreviated version of the deceased's biography on the stone itself.
This is the story of Midge (apparently a nature lover) and her spouse Bud who must have been a miner. Seen in the Norwood, Colorado Cemetery in San Miguel County's "west end" which has a mining heritage (including Uranium). Bridal Veil Falls near Telluride is featured on the stone.
