Storytelling gravestones #15
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.
Mr. Smith was apparently a single man who loved the outdoors, nature and adventure. Shown on the stone are an elk, a sadled horse, the Black Canyon, Mount Sneffels, an aspen tree and a small aircraft.
