Storytelling gravestones #10

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 biographical story here involves a love of golf and a scene from what appears to be Archews National Park or a similar type environment. The deceased husband is shown on the stone as is a date of marraige.
