Under Every Stone

A member of The Association of Graveyard Rabbits~~~~ As I say in my Find a Grave profile, "There is a story under every stone". While photographing graves for Find A Grave or genealogy research, I have come across many interesting stories about the people buried under those tombstones. In this blog I will share some of the most interesting of these stories with you. Why? So these people will not be forgotten. ~~~~~Jim Craig - Evanston, Illinois USA - Contact me at: jwcraig1100@gmail.com
