Photographs and descriptions of cemeteries and graves I have visited while researching my family history, as well as genealogical comments.
Introduction
Welcome to my genealogy Cemetery and Gravestone Photos page. The purpose of this blog is to share the photos I have accumulated while researching my family history. It is my hope that in doing this it will help someone else with their genealogy research.
In addition to the cemetery sites I have personally visited, I will also share with you any photos that have been sent to me or that I have found which relate to the family lines I am researching. The surnames I am currently interested in are Woodside, Smith, Getty, Lyons, Morrow, and Pettit on my maternal line; Dugan/Dougan, Stewart, Swift, Letton, and Spahr on my paternal line.
The following stones are all in Section A, Lot 51 of Marissa Cemetery.
This is the front of the stone marking the graves of John R. Lyons and his wife Mary. To the right is a small stone marked FATHER, and the left is a small stone marked MOTHER.
On the right side of the tall monument stone is John R. Lyons, Born Sept. 14, 1814, Died May 21, 1915, Aged 100 Yrs. 8 Mo. 7 Ds.
This photo is the left side of the above monument. It reads:
Mary A. McKee Wife of John R. Lyons Died Feb. 7, 1885 Aged 68 Yrs. 9 Mo. 27 Ds.
