Storytelling gravestones #14a
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 top of this stone is a well sculptured representation of local mountains. This is the front side of the stone (reverse also posted) and is limited to a marraige date and photo of the couple.
