Storytelling gravestones #29
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.
Seen in the Norwood, Colorado Cemetery in San Miguel County's "west end". The locally iconic peak, Lone Cone is displayed on the stone. The four names are likely the children of the deceased and I probably neglected to photo the front of the stone which would have the name of the deceased. Even so, the dates of birth and death are so spread out that other realities may exist.
