Storytelling gravestones #4

Grandview Cemetery, Montrose CO.

 

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.

 

The story conveyed here is one of family proximity to Neesdle Rock near Crawford CO where the family ranched. The family cattle brand is shown.
